I ran into this when I used parted to partition the disk. Could not complete the install as a result. Got around it by using good ol' fdisk in stead. Mind you, it only happened on 1 machine out of 5. I think all the others had bigger disks. -- Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
