I had troubles with the installer this weekend as well ... CDs that came with IDG RH 7.1 Bible. I did a partitionless install last week, went great, however when I did the real thing it put LILO in the MBR, which I didn't want. I went through the graphical installer to the last step two more times, thinking I had overlooked a checkbox on where to install LILO, but it just isn't there. So tried "expert" mode but installer popped into the graphical install mode at the point where I had to select what type of installation I wanted to do. I'm newer than new to this stuff, but actually can follow instructions quite well when I need to ... only thing I can think of about what I'm doing that could be tripping it up is that I'm trying to install on a second physical hard drive with no OS on it - unless I put a partition it previous to starting installer, Disk Druid doesn't see the drive ... maybe somewhere I have to tell it ... gee I dunno.
