My remote server has more unused space than my local machine which needs a new hard drive :) 21:44 thd gmcharlt: maybe I can reward my local machine with a new hard drve if koha will install without that error. I could even reward myself. 21:44 gmcharlt thd: I shall endeavor to help give you an excuse to reward your computer ;-) 21:46 thd gmcharlt: if you look at the archive file times, you should see that I spent all night on this again.
