when i use the 'custom setup' (actually i'm using the french 'systeme 
personnalise'), and choose for over 1.5G of package to be installed on a 
hdc6 partition (/) {i also got a 250M /hda5 <=> /home ; a 19M /boot <=> 
hda6 ; and a hda8 100M swap partition}

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.choose custom setup
2.partition with disk druid ...
3.select ~1.5G of packages to be installed on / (2G)
4.formating goes on and then just before files can be copied i got a 
message error saying me that it might be a bug and that i should write to 
you to explain what happened! I actually got this file i saved on a floppy 
before rebooting

Actual Results:  the copy of the files does not occur and instead i got an 
error message and then the system reboot when i clic ok


Expected Results:  Files should have been copied to my hdd in order to 
complete installation, allowing me to run my red hat os

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-08 17:40:43 UTC
What is on /dev/hda1?

Comment 2 Florent Busi 2001-02-08 18:48:14 UTC
On /dev/hda1 (700M), i have a fat16 partition with windows 98.

these are my hdd configurations:

hda1 700M DOS 16-bit>=32
hda5 250M linux native
hda6 19M  linux native
hda7 1063M linux native
hda8 100M <swap>  (i have 48M RAM)

hdc1 2047M DOS 16-bit>=32
hdc5 2047M DOS 16-bit>=32
hdc6 2047M linux native

When installing i first tried:
hda7 1063M being /, and
hdc6 2047M being /usr
I chose for ~1.5G package (thinking most of it would be installed on /usr)
and i had this message.
Then i thought my / partition was too tiny and i tried installing it (/) on 
hdc6 (2047M being greater than 1.5G) and got the same message.
