[TriLUG] Sys-Con - LinuxWorld Owner figures ad homminemattacksare ok

[Jim Ray]

you hit the nail on the head.  os partition too small.  here's the case# 
SRX050428602845.  the real problem is that the patch fails to perform an 
adequate check.  i love winders and all that jazz; however, that failure 
constitutes sloppy code.  i figured the microsoft haters would love to 
hear about it :-)

i'd rather warn others than pick on microsoft, though.  i had 400 MB 
free and the service pack puked hard.

caveat emptor.
