The "WorkStation" mode requires the entire hard disk. If you have Win9x
installed, this may be why you are getting the error. To set up Linux with
another OS, you must use the "Custom" option.
If you get video problems again, you can change the video configuration in
Linux from a command line with Xconfigurator. X-Windows is the software which
makes the graphical displays in Linux possible, then you add the Desktop of
your choice, or several if you are not sure which will be best for you.
I hope this helps,

I can't seem to get past the installation-type in setup. When I try to
use 'Workstation' installation, it says not enough disk space. But I
have an empty 1 GB partition. I had previously installed it using
'Custom' but I didn't get the right video mode set, and there seemed
to be no way to switch video modes afterwards, as in MS Windows. I also
couldn't get it to use my sound card, and was struggling to get it
configured to use the internet. So I thought maybe if I could get the
Workstation installation method to work - which is supposed to be
automatic.
I 1st tried installing over the original install, then I tried it
after removing all the subpartitions. It still says that there's not
enough disk space. Any suggestions? Thanks!
