I may not be replying to this correctly so it ends up in the same thread, sorry. First time out with redhat-list.

Your analysis seems correct, I am hoping for some reasonable work around. The kernel is not 39+19Mb, so I assume there is some "work space" issue. Can this work space or whatever is needing 60Mb be directed to a larger fs by an evironment var or something. Otherwise I need to install by hand? Maybe that is the workaround.
