Had the same problem on my test server - I only had 1GB of free space,
so I had to do the same :-) It would be nice if the install used the
swap drive to eliminate this problem - my swap (on another drive) had
3GB free.

BTW: I'm on day 3, machine 3. We'll see how that one goes as it's a
dual-boot (WinXPP on the other drive) with mapped drives. Oh & the test
server is still doing partials - this mornings when I fired it up had
another 35 to go... I am happy to report though that the laptop seems to
be working & so far the only problem that I found is that somehow Samba
did not get upgraded nor reinstalled.
