Help installing RH 8.0

[Jenin]

Hi Friends!   I tried installing RH 8.0 (that came along with the book Red Hat Linux Bible 8.0)   This is a summary of what I did. I partitioned my 20BG HDD into 1. 7gb Pri. Dos and installed windows 98 (to avoid windows overwriting the MBR had I installed it later) 2. 7gb as logical drive (D: drive in windows lang) left the remaining space for Linux doing nothing like formatting or partitioning. Have I gone correct upto this? Then when I tried installing RH 8.0 or PCQuest Linux 7.2, it would not install. Please let me know how to use Disk Druid/Automatic partitioning/ Linux-fdisk and make partitions for Linux installation. I would like to go for a workstation install.   When working with Disk Druid I get this error.   Warning: Boot partition may not meet booting constraints for your architecture. Creation of boot disk is highly recommended.   It is accepting only two partitions and there after defining the error:   Cannot allocate requested partitions. Partitioning failed:   Somehow when I could pass all these erros, during reading packages in installation, the process starts with a list of errors like   An unhandled exception has occurred: Traceback (most recent and last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py line 786 in handle RenderCallBack   blah blah blah   OSError: [Errno 12] cannot allocate memory   This is asking me to save this in a floppy and submit to bugzilla of redhat site. Then I tried installing with automatic partition. It is giving the following error:   /dev/hda is inconsistent. Linux detected BIOS geometry incorrectly. This might cause (fixable) problems ,etc, etc    I cancelled it and it rebooted the system.   Don't know how to proceed please help.   Thanks much, Jenin
