can't copy it.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-02-13 18:30:49 UTC 
Doing a graphical or text mode installation?
Comment 2 Ken Desloover 2004-02-13 18:59:41 UTC 
Graphical - X windows starts fine, and continues even after the 
anaconda crash - but can't do anything.

I am trying to pre-partition using Disk Druid, using same parameters 
as the automatic partition was trying.
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-02-18 00:42:17 UTC 
Workaround by booting with 'linux text' -- bumping up the default
minimum ram.
