bootnet/text/custom minimal install (firewall) onto 540 MB HD. root partition 45 MB. Diuring the post install step, anaconda died with the following error. Subsequent re-install with a larger / partition succeeded, and reveals the used space on / was 38MB (leaving 7MB available).

You need to make your '/' partition larger. For such a small drive I would recommend only having as small a swap as required and a '/' partition for the rest. The reason is 'ran out of space' is because it ran out of inodes. Do a 'df -i' and you'll see this is the case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21029 ***
