Description Al Evangelista 2001-01-31 04:33:53 UTC
Doing an installation via Graphical Interface of the Disk 1 of Red Hat 
Linux Binnaries, issued with the SmartCertifyDirect Linux system Admin 
course:  Installation gets to end and tells me I don't have enough space 
to install all the packets, I'm missing 41 megs.
I am assigning my own mount point for the files:  /mnt.
The system returns the bug report that follows:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-01 17:30:51 UTC
As I understand, the steps you took were:

- configured packages/etc
- got to screen which says 'you need more space'
- went back to adjust partitioning
- went forwards and saw this message.

Is this correct?

Comment 2 Al Evangelista 2001-02-02 04:23:57 UTC
In answer to your questions the answer is "Yes."

To clarify even further I was trying to load the linux kernel on a DOS 
partition and not create a Linux partition.

I hope this helps out.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-06 20:32:33 UTC
Thanks.

I think if you make the original space for linux large enough you will not
encounter this problem. I will look into fixing the case which is giving you
trouble as well.

Related to bug 16686.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-08 17:48:49 UTC
Were you able to use the workaround?
