I am trying to install Red Hat 7.0 on a drive which already has a 2GB 
Win32 partition running Win98.  The install formats my Linux partitions 
but then fails as it tries to write components from the CD to the drive.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot from install CD
2.Use Disk Druid to create and format /, /boot and linux swap partitions
3.Select all components to be loaded to linux native partition
4. get error
	

Actual Results:  Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", 
line 20, in run
    rc = self.todo.doInstall ()
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in 
doInstall
    if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, 
self.hdList.selected()):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in 
systemMounted
    self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + 
\
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in 
filesystemSpace
    space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' + 
mntpoint)))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable
    return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem)
SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory')

Local variables in innermost frame:
fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//win98

<failed>


Expected Results:  Red Hat loaded on / partition.

Somehow my FAT32 partition is getting into the way of my install.  My goal 
is to have a dul-boot system
