rh9 install failures under vmware

[Sorens, Michael]

Hard drive has 4GB; installer said it needed 2.2GB or 2.4GB I believe; is that sufficient margin?

Are you certain you have adequate space on the hard drive for all the
stuff you're trying to install?  The installer does weird things if it
runs out of space.
