Description of problem:
I have unsuccessfully attempted to install RedHat Linux several times 
on an older Gateway 2000 computer. The computer has a 400mhz Celeron 
processor and about 64M of RAM. The install goes fine until I try to 
partition the disk. When it gets to the part where it wants to 
partition the disk automatically, using the wizard, or using fdisk, 
it will crash. If I choose automatically, it will usually crash just 
before the installation of the files, if I choose the wizard, it will 
usually crash just before the change would take place, and if I 
choose fdisk it crashes immediatly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start installation of RedHat.
2.Choose typical installation.
3.Choose to automatically have Linux partition out your drive for you.
    

Actual Results:  I get a crash dump that says to save the information 
to a disk and submit a bug report to the website. Then anaconda stops 
and the OS shuts down.

Expected Results:  The installation of all the packages should have 
proceeded.
