[plug] rpm problems

[Paul Dean]

Hya,

Ok you need 14 mb for the program, but rpm may require alot more than
that, as in "tmp" space to install the package.

Maybe `rm /usr/share/doc/*` to give you some space, or try `rpm -ivh
intel-mkl_p-5.1-2.i386.rpm --excludedocs` , this may help too.

Hope this helps.
