What did you initially select as your partitioning method (auto, disk druid, or
fdisk?)
Comment 3 Alex 2002-11-20 06:46:34 UTC 
disk druid
Comment 4 Alex 2002-11-24 11:45:30 UTC 
this computer was already dual booting Win98 + Win2000, and I wanted to
install Redhat Linux on it as well.
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2003-01-03 05:02:17 UTC 
Looks fixed in CVS (and in 8.0 for that matter) by making sure that we always go
through a partitioning screen sanely.
