Re: Not enough disk space for a minimal installation

I have similar problem with SuSE8.1, I have tried the following
tricks, all failed:
1, Partitioning was done before hand using RedHat7.2(HP), then install
from second harddisk directory tree.
2, After partition as above, install from USB external harddisk.

Seems there is no definate work around for this bug, so I still stick
to RedHat7.2, though still thinking to move to SuSE if possible.

regards,
Zhang
