[ILUG-BOM] Red Hat 7.2 Installation: Partitioning?????

[Vikram ..]

HI EVERYBODY,

Here is a very basic question (but I am really stuck!! :| )

I have been trying to install red hat 7.2 on a win98 machine.  Everything 
goes fine until the partitioning screen comes up.  I have a hdd of 37 gb and 
I have repartitioned it to 27+10 with FIPS and want to use the new 10 GB 
partition (win95 FAT32) for linux.  When I choose automatic partitioning 
screen, it declines to do that (space not available).

Next when I come to the manual partioning screen, I cant proceed their 
either.  When I select the hard drive partition of my choice and try to add 
new partitions (root, swap and boot), I get the same errors, space not 
available.  And it woulnd't let me proceed.

Once I have done partitionless install with linux 7.0 on the same machine 
without having hard drive partitioned by fips.  And it worked fine.  
Unfortunately, as it seems, Red Hat 7.2 doesnt support partitionless 
installations.

Any comments, suggestions, advises, must do's, undo's??????????

Greetings,
Vikram
