I reinstalled a computer, with a hda with a win95 partition, two ext2 and a
swap partition and a hdb with a big win95 partition (which I deleted).

When installing, I chose everything and had a few partitions - including a
1400 MB / (this computer is going to be totally reinstalled in a couple of
weeks anyway). It complained about lack of space (bug? When I did almost
the same thing afterwards, the space requirement seemed to be about 1200
MB)- so I had to go back to the disk partitioning. This is a looong way - a
shortcut would have been nice (7.0). Anyway, I adjusted it to "use
available space", which should make about 2600 MB. This was on drive b.
When I got back to restarting the install, nothing  happened. Usually, this
meant something was wrong, but not with 6.2, so I just started doing other
things and came back later. It hadn't gotten any further, and on a VC (not
in the GUI) I found this:


Exception in Thread-3:
