Redhat 7.1

[ScottyB_]

I am trying to install Redhat and can't get past the disk druid part, I have a primary Linux extended and a C: and D: I put the / on for the mount but can't press ok. What do I need to do?

You need free space on a spare partition.. You need /boot to be 17M...You need swap to = ram size, you need / to fill rest of partition.

you need a swap partition it sud be 64 MB .
wut is it? its a swap file drive like u have a swap file in windows u have a drive in linux.

The other posts are somewhat correct, if incoherent

You need, at the very least, a root partition ( '/' ) and a swap partition.
The swap partition should be about 2x your ram size (early 2.4 kernels have some issues in managing swap space).

I would reccomend something like this:

/ 1 to 3 GB depending on how much software you intend to install
/boot 17 to 20 MB
<swap> 2x ram
/home the rest of your free space

Of course, partitioning strategy is a very debatable issue, but this will work for you.

scottyB : what is you partition look like ? i have been trying to install rhl 7.1 but i have the same problem as yours.
does it say boot partition > 1024 cylinder when you try to mount the / and then it say space unallocated ???
