If that RedHat image is the new RH9, I would say that it is likely that 1gb is not nearly enough. Seems like I easily used 2.5 gb of my 4 gb laptop drive on an RH9 install two months ago, adding only a few packages to the standard mix. It is certainly possible to put a linux kernel, particularly an older one on a disk as small as 6 or 800 mb's, I think. But I'd guess that an autopartitioning script for a newer RedHat install disk would look for at least twice the space you offered it. Just guessing. -- Hugh At 10:27 AM 7/30/03 -0400, you wrote: >Hi all, >I downloaded the redhat cd images a couple of days ago, and made a boot >disk last night.
