>How-To-Repeat:
I have partitioned my 20 GB HDD
in the following way
1) Make a partition
of 518MB using microsoft's fdisk utility
2) reboot the system
3) Make a primary partition of +512M using
Linux fdisk
4)Make another primary partition of +300M
using red hat linux's fdisk
5) Make extended partition from remaining space
using microsoft's fdisk
1st logical drive = 6283M
2nd logical drive = 6275M
3rd logical drive = 5193M
6) reboot the system
7) delete 3rd logical drive using
microsoft fdisk
9) reboot using linux CD
10) create following partitions
/home = +900M
/var = +384M
/tmp = +256M
/usr = remaining
11 ) follow steps on the screen
Now as soon as you select packages for installation
suddenly a widoe appears with the code written above
