If I pass an invalid argument (say, "-u", which CUPS and LPRng have never supported), I get a traceback as shown below. I should get a usage argument instead. I suspect this is probably as simple as putting parse_args in a try block, but testing is required.

jdreed@INFINITE-LOOP:~$ lprm -Pmark-the-great -u foo

During the partitioning phase, the installer stops with: "You entered "" which was not recognized as a valid size". It then prompts for the amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning, defaulting to 159.8GB. If you answer yes, the install proceeds.

It should be possible to write a PAM module that checks if a user is over quota, and if so, fails with a useful error message.

If it is possible, we should do it.
