Was the FAT filesystem you selected to install on a valid FAT filesystem?
The FAT filesysytem I installed Red Hat on was a FAT32. It did however contain a couple of folders which hold data files. But I did account for that when I allocated space for the / partition.

How much space did you allocate and what was the size of the install? Also, how much swap did you specify to use?
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information.
I had 2GB available and I used 1.8GB for the / partition and about 120MB for the swap.
Ok, so you had 1.8 GB for /...what was the total size of all the packages you selected to install? Or, put another way, what type of installation did you select (workstation, server, or custom)? After that, what package groups did you select to install? It's possible that the package groups you selected took up more than 1.8 GB.
Any more info here?
Apologies for not replying sooner. Been away! The installation was workstation and the packages were the default standard packages plus the remaining games. The total package size only took up just over 1GB.
It seems that this bug is a duplicate of bug #18032, which as an errata that should fix this problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18032 ***
