I've been cutting my sysadmin teeth for two days now. I got my old P133 back from a friend and decided to make one more attempt at putting Linux at the center of my network. I had RH 6.1 on the P133 at one time, but X-Windows ran really slowly. This time, I'm moving my Win2k Pro to the 133 freeing up a P 700 for good ol' Red Hat. I've got everything moved and changed, all the disk switched etc. and the Win2k box up and running. Now I am installing Red Hat 7.1 and... It keeps crashing each time the installer gets to the formatting stage. The very last thing I see is 'Formatting /home filesystem', then it just hangs. Info: Doing a 'Server' install. Taking all the package groups. I have a new 20 gig hard disk that I prepared with one large Fat32 partition. I tried to install when the disk was fresh but got an error early on in the install process saying 'No partitions to install on' or something. I used the Western Digital EZ-Drive utility to partition the disk. Any ideas on how to get through or around this? David
