Description zach 2006-12-01 19:16:29 UTC 
Latest netbeans-ent_pack-5_5-linux.sh ignores -is:nospacecheck switch and the
idiotic intaller checks root partition space instead of the mounted target one.
After the "smart" check, the next button is disabled.
Comment 1 Kirill Sorokin 2006-12-02 03:21:31 UTC 
As far as I can tell -is:nospacecheck only controls the installer launcher
itself, i.e. tells the launcher not to check disk space prior to extracting the
installer itself. So it probably does work, but there is another problem.

Most likely it will be addressed for the 6.0 installers. Thanks for reporting.
I'm now reassigning this to the next generation installer component, to remind
us to include bsd in the sanity testing cycle.

Comment 6 dlipin 2007-02-20 15:11:58 UTC 
Fixed for NBI unix launcher (shell script) and windows (binary .exe).

The flag "--nospacecheck" now disables space checking performed by the launcher 
itself.

The space checking performed by engine is up to it. For the current moment 
AFAIK it is disabled at all..
