>Description:

	Efforts to 'make package' yeild a 'not enough space on
	destination drive'.

	ktrace reveals that the installer makes drivespace decisions
	by statfs'ing /root, which was pulled out of /etc/passwd.
	Can't fathom why, though; I would have expected $PREFIX to
	be checked...

>How-To-Repeat:

	  'make package' when you only have a 50M root partition. :)

>Fix:

	A workaround: set root's HOME to a roomy drive:

	  env HOME=/usr make package
