by I have a new machine, a Dell P2/300. NT4.0 is already installed on it in a 2GB
FAT16 partition. The HD is 14.4GB total.
When I start up RH5.0 install, the disk partitioner reports only 8GB of
available disk space. I've heard that there's a problem with Linux and drives
bigger than 8GB. Can it use them still if it's installed within the first 8GB
or not?
I set up a 2GB partition and a 64MB swap partition and proceed with the install.
It gets through installing the packages etc., about 90% done, then says
something like this:
System error 7; install failed
sending termination signals...
you may now reboot safely.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Shade and sweet water,
Brian
