Attempting to perform a hard drive installation (custom install).
* Install everything on existing linux partition (hda2 2Gb)
* Installing from hda3 (/beta/i586)
* Informed Disk Drake that hda2 would be mounted at '/'
* Left hda3 alone since it was the source for the installation
* Instructed the installation procedure to format hda2
* Selected the packages to install (everything, but databases)
* Installer came back indicating the install size would be about 1600
Mb
* Installer also indicated that I only had 800Mb free on the 2Gb
partition.
It had completely ignored the fact that I had instructed the
installer to wipe
hda2 prior to installation.
