hallo,
Installed Windows 98 on a brand new fresh formatted Western Digital 3.2 GB
disk last night. Fdisked win98 to 25% of the disk and removed all unwanted
win98 stuff. Then tried to install RH5 (which I've done dozens of times
before but not with Win98 there first). Result: Disk Druid wouldn't let me
install a / partition - each time it gave the message insufficient space
although the /usr partition was much larger and this and others were easily
created. Ended up installing FreeBSD 2.2.7 which went off OK. Any ideas as
to what is going on here? I'd like to install RH5 on the rest of the disk.

Thanks.
