Hello guys. Please I need help. :(
I'm trying to install RedHat Linux 6.1 in my computer.
I followed some steps, however didn't work.
I tried some things:
My Machine: Celeron 433, 64Mb RAM and 15GB Quantum HDD
1. Angry with Windows, I decided to install the RedHat 6.1, then I utilized the FIPS2.0 in windows 98 DOS prompt.
2. Using FIPS I created a second partition, about 3GB (at end of the
disk. My FAT32 partition were using all the HD space).
3. Then I formated the second partiion using the DOS FORMAT and executed ScanDisk in both partitions
4. I chosen the KDE workstation Install, and the setup program prompt me to create the partitions
5. First of all I deleted the partition /dev/hda2 and with the remaining 3004 Mb I selected the add button, then the system prompted for: mount point, I wrote "/", size: 2800 (or any other size less than 3004) and type: Linux Native.
6. Then, when selected OK, the installer returned: "Some partition were not created. Follows their description and the reason why they were not created:
/ Boot Partition to big"
7. No matter the size I specify nor if I typed "/boot" instead "/" the message is the same. I simple cannot create a parition named "/" or
"/boot". What is going on?
What should I do? There is any chance of hardware problems with my new HD? I used to have Linux installed at the same way on my old 3.2Gb HDD.
Please help me!
Thank's all!
