I'm not sure what your problem is. RH 5.0 was my first Linux dist. and I
never had problems like that. I would suggest a complete new install. Check
the size of your partition(s) to make sure they're big enough. You'll also
need to check the "select individual packages" option so you can carefully
weed out non-essential ones. 40 megs is really pushing the low end from what
I know. And,no there is to autodetect for HD space except you can watch the
numbers on the bottom of the screen about how many packages are installed
and what space they use. Hope this helps some.
