Been there, done that... If you do it on only one disk, miniconda whines
loudly, but you can just ignore it (the exact error messages are
somewhere in he list archives), the install works just nicely. Mine
crashed when installing the first RPM package, but I had it restricted
to 8 MB of RAM, that was the reason.
