How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot with installation CD 2.Answer all screens 3.use Disk Druid to specify hda1 of 10Gb (Linux) and hda2 of 1.5Gb (LinuxSwap) 4.let it "format the hard drive" Actual Results: An Error message appeared, I saved it to a floppy and copied it the Additional Information field.
