Is that at a stage where you're asked whether to use whole discs, free space on a disc, etc., or before that sort of question. I ask because people often get caught at this stage. "Free space" is unpartitioned space on a drive, not an unused partition. If the problem is not that, or before then, chances are that you can CTRL+ALT+F (one of the function keys, try one until you get to a shell). Where you could run partitioning software from the command line. If you simply want to make a whole disc blank for the install to use the whole thing, you could use something like fdisc to install an empty partition table to the drive. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
