Partition sizes and curnel problems



Hello all,
I've being trying to install Red hat.  I can get it to install when using the workstation option because it gives me the choice of automatically making the partitions.  When I try to use the custom instillation I don't have the option of automatically setting up the partitions.  I've assigned 31MBs for the mount point, 1024 Mbs for the swap space and the remainder of the ten GBs for the user partition.  The next screen asks me if I want to boot from the mount point or the boot record.  I choose the master boot record on hda1.  It gets to the formatting screen and gives me an error telling me that an error has occurred which is probably due to low free disc space.  If the full installation of Linux takes approximately three and a half gigs then why is it running out of space?  Could it be that its installing Linux on the rong partition?
 
Next question, I was able to install Linux by using the workstation option.  When I got to the bash prompt I tried to install the curnel.  I had about eight conflicts.  I obviously got the rong curnel.  Can someone tell me how I find out what curnel version I have?  I presume that I just download the version corresponding with the the version on my system?
 
Thanks
