Fedora won't install on 3GB drive
 

Hi,

I'm trying to install FC4 on an old machine with a 3GB hard drive. My / partition has about 2.4 GB of space, the rest is for /home, swap etc. After choosing the packages I want, the install size is about 1.1 GB and after the installer formats my partitions it claims that I don't have enough free disk space for the install image. I used Disk Driud to delete my old partition scheme and I created a new one so I'm unsure about why I'm getting this error. If anyone has any ideas I'd be happy to hear them!!

thanks

Your harddisk is to small.

Do you have an explanation as to how 1.1 GB won't fit on a partition that has 2.4GB of space. That's more than twice the amount of space needed. Even if I try the minimal install which is about 700 some odd MB of space it won't fit. But 700 some odd MB< 2.4 GB
so how can the hard disk be too small!!

Hi,

Check out this site:

You can also use fdisk to check if your partitiontable is ok. (and list it here)

Hope this helps you...

Anyways I would recommend that you install a distribution that requires less space, for example Vectorlinux. :p :D

thanks for the info
