Hello List,

I am trying to install SUSE 8.2 on my Pentium 133 with 80M RAM and 2G+30G disks. Here 
is the setup I am trying to configure:

30G disk (/dev/hdd): /boot - 4G
                     /     - 4G
                     /swap - 512M
                     /usr  - 11G

The 2G disk is /dev/hda and has Win* on it.

After the repartitioning and copying 'Default System' from CDs to hard disk, it gives 
an error:

"An error occured during saving bootloader configuration".

YaST2 (SUSE 8.1 onwards) uses GRUB instead of LILO for boot loader and apparently, is 
having problem saving the config file on disk. Where is it trying to save it? Unless 
it is trying to use /dev/hda, I don't see how it can run out of disk space or for that 
matter, permission issues. It has  complete access to /dev/hdc and there is plenty of 
room in it.

This system already has Win95 and Win2K installed on it on /dev/hda and uses Win2K 
boot loader. Could it be that SUSE/GRUB is not able to overwrite the Win2K bootloader?

Regards,
Nishi
