Re: [TriLUG] Fedora installation issue

[Carlos J. Cela]

I had a similat issue days ago with my Thinkpad. The installer wanted 
about 2GB free on /tmp and did not like the extended partition for /. 
What I ended up doing was to leave only 3 partitions in the disk (XP, 
swap, /) instead of having a separate /boot partition. That worked.

I have another laptop that I *had* XP and FC1 installed dual-boot. I 
needed more HDD space for my XP partition, so I ghosted the partition, 
made XP bigger and I have been trying for 2 days to get FC1 to reinstall. 
Everytime, I get an error stating the setup I have "may" not work with my 
hardware configuration, esp the /boot partitition. However, It allows me 
to continue. When I get to the "Copying Install Image", it tells me there 
isn't enough HDD space. ARGH!!!

Here's the disk setup:
NTFS (XP) 10GB
/boot 100MB
swap 1498GB (784MB RAM)
Extended partition
/ 25GB
Anyone see something wrong? Any suggestions?
