This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2001-07-25 16:08:04 UTC
We cannot reproduce this defect report.

Please give detailed instructions on the steps you took to partition the system.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2001-07-25 16:17:28 UTC
Meanwhile we will try again with a system with NT installed on NTFS (is this
your situation?).

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2001-07-26 03:48:04 UTC
Fixed in CVS

Comment 5 Daniel Powell 2001-07-26 04:51:36 UTC
yes, dell optiplex system... listed in beta hardware.

NTFS formatted partitions... 
20 or 30G drive... 

filesystem is as follows... (from memory)
[25MB /boot][20G NTFS][256MB swap][rest is linux]

I'll try the installer again tomorrow... the other partitions were ext2 from RH 
7.1 and previous betas... i converted /boot to ext3 and / to reiserfs in the 
installer... ended up having to use tui installer.... 

will test again tomorrow 7/26
