John Thanks for your quick reply!
Technically, you can have one large partition. In fact, I use to create
many partitions but for someone like me who is not to schooled in LINUX, one
large partition will take much of the confussion out of the install. I was
told by a LINUX guru that all you need is one partition and a swap
partition. So basically, In Disk Druid on 6.0 I created a "/ " root
partition with about 2875 mgs of hard drive space and and swap partition of
about 125mgs. Really that is all I did other then selecting all of the
packages that I could to install except for IPX. I know my drive is not bad
because I returned this type of drive a few weeks ago and got this one in
return, a new seagate 6gig drive.
The other strange thing is that if I choose to install Redhat 6.1 my PC will
let me create the root and swap partitions but then it will reboot after
clicking on "next"!
I have a new motherboard from about a month ago and I have an AMD K62 300mhz
chip in it which is also new!
I will try to create the partitions that you have suggested to see if that
will make a difference?
My wife and I live in Ohio so we are Eastern Standard Time. Go ahead and
respond back when you can. I'll get to your response later on this evening
around 9:00pm to 10:00pm.

I just subscribed to this list a couple hours ago, so I may be missing a lot
of background here. Are you sure that your install is not being attempted on
the swap partition? How did you do your partitioning?

I don't know why you can't technically have one enormous '/' partition...
but it's never worked technically or practically for me. The commonly
accepted wisdom is that you should have several partitions, for example:-
/ 100Mb
/usr 2000Mb
/opt 600Mb
/tmp 100Mb
/var 100Mb
[swap] 125Mb
