REDHAT Install Problems
I'm trying to install Red Hat 7.2 off of 2 ISO's I got from linuxiso.org. I've set up mandy before with no troubles, but I got rid of that and am now trying this. I get it to boot fromt the CD, setup mouse etc... Then I choose the partitioning. Now, I have 7gb of unpartitioned space, unformatted on my 60gb HDD. I tell RH to install on the empy space, (Automatic) and I get this "COULD NOT ALLOCATE REQUESTED PARTITIONS PARTITIONING FAILED: COULD NOT ALLOCATE PARTITIONS. Also got this when selected REMOVE LINUX PARTITIONS just to see if that would work. Anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the CD itself? Could I maybe create the linux partitions ahead of time with Partition Magic (Going to be a dual boot with 2000)? Thanks for any help.

Nevermind, I got the problem fixed. Apparently, you can only have 4 primary partitions on the HDD.... Between my 2 Win2k partitions and the 3 linux ones, it wouldn't work. I threw in an old 20 gb drive and installed without a hitch.
