There must be a typo. Your /boot and / are both on /dev/hda3. A 9G / should be large enough to hold the OS. Not sure what the problem may be. I typically use the custom install so that I'm in control of selecting which packages are installed and partition the disk manually using Disk druid.

Ok, I'm just now getting on the dual-boot bandwagon, and it's not quite
as easy as I had expected.  I'm installing on an IBM Thinkpad with a
60GB drive, and WinXP Pro is already installed on hda1 (factory load).
I used qtparted to size down the partition to 25GB, and wanted to setup
a 10GB partition for Linux (Fedora Core1).  I read through this
(<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hut.fi/~tkarvine/linux-windows-dual-boot-resing-ntfs.html";>http://www.hut.fi/~tkarvine/linux-windows-dual-boot-resing-ntfs.html</a>),
but couldn't get it to install.  At the point that it should / would
normally start copying files, I get an error stating that I am probably
out of drive space.  I had setup [swap] (hda2 = 512MB), /boot (hda3 =
100MB), / (hda3 = 9[ish]GB).  So, I figured I'd dorked something up, and
restarted.  Same thing (I went as far as to delete the partitions so
that there was just the 25GB NTFS, and a blank one).  So then, blew away
those partitions (that Linux created) again, and started the install
again, this time choosing the &quot;Personal Desktop&quot; option.  Same error.  I
think I'm just missing something, but can't seem to figure out what it
is.  I know that there's sufficient room there (on / ) for it to
install, or should be at least.  What am I missing?
