yeah thats right. After you have selected the partiotions it asks whether
it should write the partition table on to the disk. Say
yes, and once it has done that ( it goes into the next set of questions),
hit <ctrl><alt><del> and remove the cd.
Now put in you 6.2 cd. It will show all the partitions you have just
made. So mount what you need to do in each of them and go ahead.
Theres also a destructive way out of there, if you have windows (thats
what they are really good at). From fdisk try to remove the linux partitions
from the disk using fdisk. Most likely it would crib "logical partition
not empty" but show no partition there. In that case create a logical
partotion ( fat) of the full size available. restart ( with windows you
have to do these sorts of things).
Then again fire fdisk and remove the logical and the extended partition.
And then you can use the 6.2 cd afresh.
Also did you continue with the install or restart the

restart from scratch.

try installing the latest gcc. But please consult some one, cause it might
require a new libc etc etc. But rpm should take care of all these.
