Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

I ran out of disk quota on an AFS system in the midst of
installing the java plugin.  I get the somewhat misleading
error message "Access denied" in the Software Installation
dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mozilla on a system enforcing disk quotas
2. Leave only about 10 MB left
3. Try to install the JRE xpi

Actual Results:  
The software installation dialog reports
"Access Denied"

Expected Results:  
The dialog should report
"out of disk space" or "cannot write to disk".

I am still getting "Access denied" on 2002092511 on RH 7.2 with
AFS (Andrew File System) enforcing the quotas.

I mean RH 7.3, not 7.2.  Not that it matters.

Reporter can you reproduce this bug with a newer build (1.4 final)?
If not, then please close this bug as worksforme. Thanks.

There is no longer a (recent) Java XPI
plugin (for linux), so this bug no longer
matters.
