You must format this partition. From: kiriakos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Mandrake 7.0 - Installation screams 'error not enough space in partition/" Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 03:22:34 +0200 Hello all, I just got a Mandrake 7.0 distribution from a computer magazine. It all goes well up to the point that it asks me for the packages I want to install. I had the disk auto-allocated, which gives me around 1409 Megs for the / partition. I chose "expert" installation (I'm not an expert, just a freak, hehe) and development type. After that point, the installation gives me an error saying more or less that the packages I chose are 1180 Megs in size and there's no space for all of them (like 1180 1409?) but I could go on anyway, just I won't get all packages installed. I OK this, to go on, and then I get a menu of package choices (Server, Development, Games, etc.) I choose the absolute minimum, which is 1180 Megs, and when I OK this too, I get an error that the .rpms could not be installed because of no space in / partition. This is weird cause I restarted after I partitioned, so there shouldn't be a problem for the installation to see the allocated space. Any ideas?

is this 7.0 or the fixed up version 7.0-2 "Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honeydew hath fed, And drunk the milk of paradise."
