Distribution Size

[Dan Ulinski]

I have tried to install the servern release now for a couple of times. I
have allocated about 6.6 GBytes to distribution

And still while the installation is going on it fails because of not
enough disk space for temp files created while the installation

is processing rpm-s. 

 

In this case shouldn't the size of the distribution that Anaconda uses
for checking available disk space include the size 

of the temp files needed to complete the installation? 

 

Not just the end size of the distribution.

 

   Thanks,

 

      Dan

I successfully did an everything install into a 6.4GB partition (everything 
except /home and swap into that partition).  After installation, the 
partition was about 5.6GB full.

Did you create a swap partition, and if you did, how large was it?

Yes the Partition Size was 512 mB. Twice the size of my RAM.

I have also tried to install the servern core three times since and 
Increase the size of the partition to 8 GB and still no luck.

I think I might be having a hadware problem. 

It seems to fail in the OpenOffice rpm install.

Saying that there is a fatal error and must exit the install process.
The possible causes that the dialog box lists are:
 1. Media error
 2. Disk Space

Cannot figure out what is going on with the install at this point.

Did you run mediacheck? The CD's might be bad if you burned them at high
speed.

After the second attempt I ran media check. All three disks passed.
