Description lnxgnome 2009-07-23 07:58:41 UTC 
The setup program does not give a clear indication of what the default
installation directory is, or what file system if referred to by the
insufficient disc space error message.

In this example, the system has only 200M free in /opt.

Untar OOo_3.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz into /tmp

(as root)
cd /tmp/OOO310_m11_native_packed-2_en-US.9399
./setup

Pick "Custom" install.
Choose to install all items/packages/options, click Next.

An error pop-up appears and tell you (not exact wording)
4xx,xxx kbytes are required, but only
2xx,xxx kbytes are available.

The console simple reports "Not enough disc space".

At this point in the installation (unless you RTFM) you do not know where the
default installation directory is (it is shown on the next screen, if this error
does not occur), and the installer does not indicate where the disk space is
insufficient (you have to guess, and/or compare the 'available' space shown in
the pop-up to your real disk allocation).
Please keep in mind that some machines have /usr, /var, /opt, /tmp, etc on
different mount points, i.e. not everything is under /.

The message box shows also "Please use another directory..." which is not possible.
