Tried installing on 10MB hard disk. Used Partition Magic to move up Win98 and create a 517.7 MB partition for / at the beginning of the disk. This worked fine. Booted installation Linux installation CD & tried CUSTOM install - both Druid and fdisk had gone crazy so I aborted installation. Went back into Partition Magic and started to clean up the mess that the Linux installer made. Wound up with 3 partitions: * 517.7 MB - OK * 8173.7 MB - OK, used for Windows 98 * 2,096,493.1 MB - Looks a little bit larger than my disk! Was unable to delete last partition using PartitionMagic or Dos' fdisk. 5.2 doesn't seem quite ready for prime time. Please help me to install, so that I don't have to return the s/w. I had only minimal problems installing 5.1 on a 6 GB disk. Thanks for your help, Ray.
Hard disks larger than 8 gig is a known issue with Disk Druid part of the install. We are in the process of fixing this problem and will post an update soon. Until then you can use the fdisk option to work around this problem. ------- Email Received From "RayCherry" <rcherry> 01/18/99 22:30 -------
Please verify with 6.0
10 GB drives work fine under the 6.0 installer, so this should be a moot issue.
