Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] 1.3.5_etc_migration_problem

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

It may be a good idea if save-config checks for the existence of the  
old etc.tar.bz2, then prints out a warning about disk space and offers  
to delete the file.
Otherwise we may get flooded with emails about this issue once we  
release a "stable" version.
