problems installing

[Hugh Esco]

If that RedHat image is the new RH9, I would say that it is likely that 1gb 
is not nearly enough.  Seems like I easily used 2.5 gb of my 4 gb laptop 
drive on an RH9 install two months ago, adding only a few packages to the 
standard mix.  It is certainly possible to put a linux kernel, particularly 
an older one on a disk as small as 6 or 800 mb's, I think.  But I'd guess 
that an autopartitioning script for a newer RedHat install disk would look 
for at least twice the space you offered it.  Just guessing.
