Yes--there's sort of no help for it.  Ideally, the install program would
check the free space on the directory into which it was planning to
install, or on each of the directories into which it was planning to
install.  Life (and storage) is just plain more complicated than having
one or two or three hard disks attached to your interactive machine.
