it would be great if you can mail me the install error messages, not that i can guarantee some conclusion out of it, but just to see what stage caused the error. Also make dead sure that your package install size is less than available disk space.
Depending upon the partition table I mailed in my previous mail I started the Linux installation today. I started with " fdisk/mbr " in windows, then I start the installation, The first message I got is, "Automatic partitioning failed: There is not sufficient disk space in order to automatically partition your hard disk. You will need to manually partition your disk for RHL to install. " Though there were a free space of 3.9GB
Along with this message there was 2 options i.e. Disk Druid & fdisk. I moved ahead with fdisk, partitioned the disk in the following order /boot, /, swap, /usr & /home allotting around 2.5GB for /usr & went for custom setup. The total install size of all the packages was around 1.5GB, even then just before the start of installation & after formatting all the partitions I got another message that, " An error occurred while transferring the install image on your hard disk. You are probably out of disk space." The installation aborted here.
How could be this possible even though there was total of 1GB difference between install size & the disk space? Every time my installation halts here.
waiting for your helpful reply, Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)
P.S. Today I got another problem, my CD-ROM is not accepting any disk. It seems that my machine is gona screw me out :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Messenger IDs : MSN : s2sameer Yahoo! : s9sameer RediffBol : s2sameer Indiatimes : s2sameer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
