Problem with installation of Fedora 8 LINUX..?

denny8569 · 15.02.2010, 07:21

Hello all,
I have been installing Fedora 8 Linux with already having Windows Xp as my primary OS. I have a total of 80GB Hard disk.Out of 80 GB,I have freed 8GB for Linux. But during Installation after selecting language for keyboard and then choosing Create Custom Layout, while giving partitions I have allotted 4GB for '/' and 2GB for Swap. Initially space was created for root(/)...but it is unable to create space for swap and all other boot,home etc. It is showing the error message as Could not create partition as there is no space left for /(root)...

What is the reason behind this.? Plz guide me the solution...

Thanks in advance..

So did you try the "automatic proposition" or however that is called exactly?
If you choose "custom", you should first create swap, then / and nothing more. Obviously you don't dedicate too much of space in total, not a real productive system. And to try out and get acquainted with, one partition for everything (except swap of course) is sufficient.

How many XP (NTFS/FAT)-Partitions have you got on your system? Did you try to create the new partitions as primary or extended (logical) partitions?

Fedora 8 is rather outdated, I suggest you get a more recent spin of the distro - maybe its partitioner is more clever these days, and everything works out for you just fine.

Installing Fedora 8 today is a pointless exercise, however. Go for Fedora 12 right away. → http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora
