Can`t have overlaping partitions

What does your partition scheme look like, What kind of install are you
attempting ? Without this we cannot help you.

Where did you download it?
parted 1.6.12 is known broken, and definitely not used in alpha12.2 (it
was used in a pre-release testing version of alpha12.2 though). Looks like
your mirror is largely out of sync.

Please download from either the Oregonstate or the Ibiblio mirror, we can
sync those ourselves so we're fairly sure they're ok.

thanks for answer.

I tried to use a harddisk with no partitions and a harddisk with one FAT32
active partition from 0.03MB (0.0307617) to 14.65GB (14998,2) and with
unpartitioned space from 14.65GB (14998.2) to 18.65GB (19092.9) .

I tried an installation type which deletes all partitions and an
installation type which use only unpartitioned space.

I have downloaded it from   
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/arklinux/1.0-0.alpha12.2/iso/
 or  http://www.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/arklinux.org  , I dont know
exactly, I´m sorry.  

parted-1.6.12-1 is in RPMS directory, so I think it is really used in
installation process.

I will try to download it from another mirror.

This mirror is out of sync. Please re dowload from ibiblio or oregon
state. Parted 1.6.12-1 IS BROKEN, if it is in the rpms directory of the cd
then you have an out of date iso. You MUST download a copy from ibiblio or
oregon state.

Resolved as broken mirror.

reopening, we have to either fix the mirror or drop them from our mirror
list...
I'm sending them a message (and reopening the bug so I don't forget about
it if they don't reply)
