If you try to install thunderbird on a drive who has not enough free space, the
installer will fail with an obscure error message.
It would be better if the installer could check if there is enough space on the
disk, and warn the user if there is not.
The Mozilla (Seamonkey) installer does this if I remember correctly.
It seems that there is the same problem with the firefox installer.
