don't blame Mandrake when you don't have enuff knowledge and when u are
trying to install it alongside windoze on a small partition!
that aside, Mandrake by default creates seperate partitions for root ("/"),
home ("/home") directories.. so although u're total free hard-disk space is
more, u're root may have half the space allocated for it.. and remaining
for /home.. there are _may_ logical reasons for doing this.. but if u dont'
like this, then select expert mode, remove all allocations, create swap,
and then create "/" on the remaining and u're done!
As of Mandrake not installing all packages, u must have screwed somethign..
again, don't blame Mandrake for installation.. its too good to be blamed in
my opinion.
and ya, Mandrake 7.1 is out for a long time now.. so try using that.
