I think there is some bug some where in the installation script where it
makes the partitions. Because in both the case in which i had faced
problems in installing RHL 6.2 where related to partioning.

1) The 1st was when i was trying to install it in a space less than 1 Gb.
i couldnot get the sizes of the partition right and had to go back an
forth as it would complain "not enough space in /usr partition". But
each time just after it came up with " formatting partition" Anaconda
would throw an exception with a stack trace full of error messages.
Significant among which would be such an such partition not found. 
  Ultimately i got it to work when the sizes came out right and i did not
have to change them.

2) This happened after my disk crash. I checked by booting from the cd
that /home is clean, elated, i did a custom install with RHL6.2.
Everything went of fine but then it would stop at "LI". Possibly it was
facing problems in updating the MBR. On the next try it wouldnt even
delete some of the partitions i wanted to delete. Ultimately i had to boot
from the RHL 6.0 cd to delete the offending partition and then install 6.2
from the cd. This time it worked.

LIH is all for free speech.  But it was created
for a purpose.  Violations of the rules of
this list will result in stern action.
