Chris,
I tried the custom install first too (for the same reason), but got the
error, and decided to let Fedora handle it, and just go back and install
/ uninstall what I did / didn't want. And, that was a typo .

| 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

| 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

| 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 "Personal Desktop" 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?
