Yes, it will work. Just select partition manually. I notice that your HPUX
volume groups contain only one physical device which is good because you
don't have a logical volume manager with redhat, out of the box. So, to my
knowledge you couldn't span drives with a single patition.

Subject: Partition During Install ES 3.0
I'm new to redhat, but not new to unix. I installed ES 3.0 and selected
everything/automatic install. I was thinking it would give me a chance to
specify partitioning and what to put in those partitions. However, the
automatic install did not ask about partitioning; it just did it.
This is what I got:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 67963512 4319804 60191344 7% /
/dev/sda1 101089 25512 70358 27% /boot
none 1030808 0 1030808 0% /dev/shm
Here are the directories under "/".
[root at IPB-REDHAT-SVR /]# ls
bin dev home lib misc opt root tftpboot usr workbench
boot etc initrd lost+found mnt proc sbin tmp var
At the bottom of this message is how my HP-UX FTP server is set up.
When installing HP-UX it requires you set partition sizes on each hard drive
and breaks out the OS directories in different partitions. This is to
protect the system from crashing should a "(partition)" fill up. The OS
operates off two partitions "/" and "/stand"; their partition sizes are
small and will not increase; no application can write to these partitions,
other than OS updates.
Bottom Line: I would like to set up Linux similarly to protect "/" from
ever filling up and crashing the system.
Will a manual install give me this opportunity or will I have to do it the
hard way: create partitions, create mount points, move data from directories
to mount points and then destroy the directories ?
Will this work in Linux ?
My old FTP server has the following setup:
