I'm fighting the same thing right now.  I did dasdfmt and fdasd manually
and then what I finally did was to press ABORT on the dasd screen and the
process continues on without any problem. Once you get to the Installation
Settings screen you select Change and you can partition your dasd and
select your swap device by entering swap for the mount point (very
intuitive, NOT).
Thanks Mark,

I just tried that, (and another 100 variations) and after I select the
mount points (swap and / ) and it says it sees 2.2G of dasd, when I enter
'next' and it tries the installation again, I still get the same msg about
no proposal and not enough room for an install. ARGHHHH!!!! I've tried
formatting outside by hand, marking them for format by the install
process... no difference.

When you go into the Software Selection screen, do you see a list of
options instead of just the one Detailed Selection Option?

I was so impressed with how easy the previous level install was..... I just
can't seem to find the key to this one...........
