Comment:

 Test RPMs used:
  * sugar-0.84.22-2.fc11.i586.rpm
  * sugar-artwork-0.84.2-2.fc11.i586.rpm
  * sugar-presence-service-0.84.1-2.fc11.noarch.rpm
  * sugar-toolkit-0.84.12-2.fc11.i586.rpm

 If the disk is full, these RPMs detect it and display an error message.

 However I could NOT get these RPMs to display any errors if Linux had USB
 or SD media mounted as read-only, either via remounting USB media that
 lacked a write switch (as root: /sbin/mount /mount/your_usb_stick -o
 ro,remount), or by using an SD card with a write switch on it (which the
 OS detects and will mount media as ro/rw as appropriate).   Any error
 message caught is not displayed to the user when this happens.

 More investigation may be needed.
