   Right. Like when there's not enough disk space, there is no way to
   install the binary---unless the installer starts freeing up space.

Well, but you want to maximize the likelihood of success.  Not enough
(< 2M) diskspace is less likely than no appropriate UIDs.  For
example, in our small but busy Linux lab, all UIDs between 500 and
6500 are taken by student accounts.  So John's binary would not
install.  (Qmail's UIDs are towards the end of the range!)

Hope this info helps
