Default How to detect transformer saturation?

Is there a way to detect when a switching power supply's isolation
transformer is starting to saturate? I've read, in a Linear Technology
application note, that it can be done with a current probe and looking
at the shape of the ramp -- straight line is OK, curved like a parabola
is bad. But is there an easier way that doesn't require a current
probe?
