Hello all,
I have a 30gig Maxtor UDMA 66 drive @7200 rpm's. I have windows ME and BeOS installed already. When i boot off my linux 6.1 disk and do a kickstart install i cant get past disk druid. I try and make a Native Linux partition and if i set the mount point as &quot;/&quot; w/o the quotes which i though you were supposed to do, it says there is not enough disk space. But if i attempt to make a native linux partition with the mount point of say &quot;/Linux&quot; it will create the partition fine but the os wont install on that cause it says it needs a &quot;/&quot; partition. I have only installed linux a few times so im by no means an expert. Am i just being stupid and i dont know it? Can someone shed some light on this subject?

I have heard linux disk druid of 6.1 doesn't see more than 8gb of the hard disk partition. I suggest you use fdisk rather than diskdruid to setup the stuffs like partitioning etc. Fdisk seems to be more stable and less error prone. [sig][/sig]
