DVD Install - Tar errors, No space left on device

[scoob8000]

I've tried twice now, downloaded from different mirrors both times.  MD5 matched on both as well.
ISO:  LinuxMCE-DVD-i386.iso   

I'm getting stuck on "writing '/media/target/usr/pluto/install/./PlutoMD-amd64.tar.bz2' : No space left on device.

I'm installing to a 20gb drive, should be plenty of space..  :/

Actually I do not think 20G is enough, with untar - ing the image and placing it, you may be too close. Try a 30 or 40G drive.

Not to mention that if you want any MD's you will need space to store the images for them.

Best of luck to you.

iirc 30gb is minimum but even with that you will not have room for diskless images.

I would go with at least 40-80

Wow!

I'm stumped now.  Just for giggles I tried running it in a vmware box with just about unlimited space.  It uses up about only 5gb before it stops at the same point.

I'm going to try downloading one more iso before giving up.  Maybe I'll try the DL iso.

mabye try the torrent files they will ensure the dvd is complete

If the MD5 matches then the download is fine (although you should always use the torrent as tk says, it will always be much more reliable). But if the download is fine, then the next port of call is the burn. Because the content is predominantly a single, very large, monolithic file it is particularly susceptable to a fatal error during burning. It is absolutely critical to burn on the slowest speed (ideally 1x) with decent media, to be able to rule out burn errors.
