Description harry.heinisch 2000-09-18 15:00:27 EDT

When creating 2 partitions, root "/" and swap, it appears that Disk Druid 
will not allow you to set root to the whole disk.It limits you to 
500MBytes, forcing the user to add another partition /usr which can be set 
to use the whole disk.

Same problem found on Red Hat 6.2

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-09-18 16:42:36 EDT

Disk Druid is part of the installer, anaconda.  Reassigning to the "anaconda"
component.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-09-19 17:59:38 EDT

What is the geometry of the disk in question?

Whatever partition that /boot resides on can only occupy up to the 1024 limit
imposed by LILO.

I successfully created and installed beta4 in a 2GB and (separately) a 3GB
system.  The disks are 9GB scsi.
