We have a script called 'minimon' [1] that is initiated during %pre of
an install and monitors different sources of information during an
install.  Feedback is sent over XMLRPC to a MinomonServer [2]

We don't yet have the logic in place to detect and act on a disk space,
but I suspect it will involve detecting the following event from
anaconda.log, and making the suggestion noted in a previous mail.

 17:11:13,274 INFO anaconda: switching from media #1 to #2 for
Packages/vim-enhanced-7.2.359-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Thanks,
James
