[kilk] SUSE Slick 10.0 - 1st Install

[harryc]

I installed Thunderbird 1.5beta from the klik site (by clicking on the download button). It seemed to install ok, and it runs fine. But when I checked in YaST later on to look into a package, I noticed an 'out of disk space' error message for /tmp/app/1. I took a look in there and there was the thunderbird clik install. How can I fix this disk space error? Here's a look at my /etc/fstab if that helps. There's around 15GB of free space on my root partition.

There is nothing we can do about this. Just ignore this SUSE warning and continue, it will work OK. The no-space warning is invalid, because .cmg images are read-only. Check with SUSE team how-to disable this warning.

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.

/tmp/app/... are just Disk Images that are only as big as they need to be in order to contain the resprective application. So this is normal and intended. SUSE thinks the disk is "running out of space", but in fact the "disk" is _designed_ to be no larger than the application it contains.

This has nothing to do with your real hard disk...
