Which partition were you installing Linux to, and which partition were you installing from?

I had duplicate 18623, and I was trying to do a partitionless install on a machine with Windows ME installed. I have over 3GB of free space, so that wasn't the issue. Other Info: Celeron 566 Installation from Hard Disk from Downloaded files.
*** Bug 20158 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Trying to install on a IBM Thinkpad 570E, 3 gigs free, 450 Mhz PIII with 196 megs ram. I get the same error: targ = os.open(file, mode) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/loophost/redhat.img'
It would be extremely helpful to have the exact steps you took that caused this problem so we could reproduce it here.
Fixed in internal development tree.

This bug occurs because currently you cannot do an partionless install from the same drive you are installing from during a hard drive install method. You can use the ISO images available to burn CDs and try the partitionless install however.
Fixed in CVS.

*** Bug 21626 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
So how do you fix this bug?
the hard drive install method should change in the next release of red hat linux ... we will test this case to try to ensure it is resolved ...

Thanks RedHat for the info. It worked out fine for me. I have a 4.3 GB hard drive that is partitioned under Windoze 95 into drive C: (hda1), drive D: (hda5), and drive E (hda6). I put the install files on the C: (hda1) drive and loaded RedHat on drive D: (hda5). Everything from there on out went without any problems. Recommendation: Put a short notice on the download page explaining the current two hard drive rule. It should only take about = hour to do and it will save people a lot of time. I.e. Downloading several times, trying to find the same problem in the bug reports and waiting on the support staff to list it as a duplicate bug. If you're installing Red Hat Linux on an Intel machine with a formatted DOS (FAT) filesystem, you also have the option of doing a "partitionless" install. However you must install from one drive to another I.e. Intall files on DOS drive C: and install Red Hat to DOS Drive D. See theOfficial Red Hat Linux 7.0 Installation Guide, available from http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/, for more information about partitionless Installs. Thanks again for the help. It worked out great. Larry
