problem on installing fc1


Hi there....

i have 3 primary partitions and when i try to install federo everything goes right but after formating ex2 partition and after about 70% of transferring image to hard it gives me error and says you probably run out of free space....on 6gig partition.....

i find the way to install is choose ext3 format and after 3 times retrying(seeing error,aborting and retry again)it installs.....

whats the problem?

Regards

yeah, that was my other question...why were you running ext2....however, I believe the only way to do it is doing an upgrade with a new distro....and I think that what happens is that you must reformatt the partition...which means you need to back up your things..or you'll loose them.

becouse i used to use a driver that shows ext2 partition on xp and as far as i remember it had some problms with ext3....
just thought older version are always better )...
also i think partition magic also has got some problems with ext3....

anyway thanks.....
and i think it is a a bug for redhat fedora...
also after installation i couldnt add package by using add remove packages....
it gaves me error at the end....

it is really amazing you install something and without doing anything it gives error!!!
this is why i think linux is no good for newbies )

thanks

well, maybe you should try Fedora 2, or another distro.... hehehhe, but if Linux is no good for Newbies... and thus you don't use it.... how are you ever not going to still be a newbie? :-p
