Description of problem:
I tried to install RH 8.0, from CD ROM, in a Pentium III 666MHz, 64MB RAM 
computer and IDE/ATAPI disk drive with 10GB. When it was about to install it 
gave an traceback error that I will reproduce.

I tried the same process 4 times with the same error.

I searched for this error and patches here in Bugzilla and the internet. This 
error was present in previous versions of the installer and was suppossed to 
occur when less than 250MB were assigned to the /root partition, but as you 
can see I assigned 4500MB to that partition.

Thanks for reading. I hope it can be fixed.

Regards,
Luis

8. Language support spanish and Spain's time zone.
9. Set root password and created user account. 
10. Customized package group selection, which mainly included X-Windows, 
Gnome, KDE and other utilities. No server or development tools.
11. Hit Install and obtained the error message.

    
Actual results:
This is the error message I obtained (it didn't allow to save to floppy, so I 
may have copied it wrong):

Traceback (most recent call last):

  childpid = os.fork()

OSError: [Erno 12] No se pudo asignar memoria

The last phrase means something like "Memory could not be assigned".


Expected results:
Packages should have been saved correctly.
