I would agree about the server installation is a mistake. It should function the same
as Workstation installation as far as deleting and repartitioning if it was to be
there. Another thing about the server installation requires 1.6 gig hard disk and I
had one but it says too small so I attempt install on a larger hard disk such as 4.3
gig and found only approx 300megs installed. I realize that Xwindows nor any Xwindows
manager are installed since there may be no need. Why is 1.6 gig a requirement? I
have same question as you regarding the RedHat guys,
what is the purpose of server installation? Since it is pretty buggy in the process,
I have no idea.

Linux can be overwhelming however, I will not run away but find it more challenging.
:) Besides, neither Workstation nor Server satisfies me but I used it as a start then
wipe them out then Custom install to my liking.
