Just out of interest, where is the code that raises the AP network authentication name/pass request? That feels like a pretty close template fit to such a critical warning. I must just say I'm not 100% convinced about how successful a warning will be (but it is better than nothing). I've hit the issue a couple of times and it was not some slow incremental case where I could take sensible action. Both times, as I recall, I was downloading some ~large library or binary which maxed out the space in one go before I realised the size. --Gary _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
