Description harry.heinisch 2000-09-18 19:00:27 UTC 
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.

Disk Druid is part of the installer, anaconda.  Reassigning to the "anaconda"
component.
Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-09-19 21:59:38 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Gene Czarcinski 2000-09-20 20:37:53 UTC 
I successfully created and installed beta4 in a 2GB and (separately) a 3GB
system.  The disks are 9GB scsi.
