First of all. Is there a reason you aren't installing 7.3? 7.1 is pretty 
old now and 7.2 and 7.3 are much more stable.

Second. If you are running out of space on install, you are going to want 
to show us how big each partition is. "fstab" doesn't give that information 
and it could be that you haven't left enough room on one of your many 
partitions.

Also lots of people make the mistake of making /home really big and not 
leaving enough room for /usr and /usr/local/. I find that if you install a 
lot of apps that /usr can get very big and have seen systems where /usr 
usage is much bigger than /home. (Especially if they install lots of Loki 
games in /usr/local)
