I tried installing Red Hat Linux 7.0 Partitionless, however, after it makes partition_disk_image_file_ it used to fail and come up with an error message. I found that other had this prob. so I downloaded the floppy image for the update patch that was supposed to fix all this, however, With the patch the install failed half way through making partition_disk_image_file_ it comes up with an error message. I can't send you info cause at the error message my system jams. I have 8GB of free space current, I'm running a Pentium III 700Mhz, and I have tried every type of install. Please find a way to fix this because I really want to use RedHat Linux. Thank You, A guy BTW - E-mail me if you find a fix to this prob.
If you are doing a partitionless install, the DOS partition must already exist and be formatted as a DOS partition. The installer does not have the ability to format a DOS partition. This is clearly documented in the help window in the Disk Druid screen.
If there are no existing DOS partitions, it would be much better to create ext2 partitions instead, because ext2 is the native linux filesystem.
Dos partition does already exist and is formatted.
Hmm...I'm basically out of ideas. One workaround is if you have some extra hard drive space, create an ext2 partition and install Linux to it. Another workaround is to download 7.1, which we just released. I have done numerous tests of installing 7.1 to a DOS partition, so this has been improved in the current release. Resolving bug as current release.
Thanks anyway for your assistance, isn't amazing that I just managed to finish download Red Hat Linux 7.0 around the same day you released Red Hat Linux 7.1.
