Ok, so maybe I did something really weird here but the following things happened to me on my installation of Win4lin 2.0 on my Mandrake 7.2 system. Can someone tell me if they are supposed to happen? 1. I got around to reinstalling my system with Mandrake 7.2 I chose to alter the default disk partitioning scheme by removing the /home parition and making the /usr partition about 2.5 Gig. This was apparently my first mistake. When I went to install Win4lin, I got the kernel installed OK and did the initial load of the windows CD. BUT when I tried to install windows as a user, I kept running out of space. I believe this was because the /home directory is mounted off of / and the default install of Mandrake only gives you like 500 Megs for /. Is this correct? 2. The really weird thing was when I tried to install windows. In all cases, the windows setup would start and, on the first few screens, I wouldn't even get to look at the options or dialog boxes. It would breeze right by them. I mean, forget trying to choose a custom or compact installation!!! It wouldn't let me anywhere near those options. Is this expected behavior?? I finally solved my space problem by removing my user, removing the /home dir and then linking it over to /usr (so I have /usr/home/<userid>) and I have plenty of space. Lesson learned for next time! But that breezing by the options bothers me. How can it/is it supposed to, do that?? Rick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
