I've been cutting my sysadmin teeth for two days now.  I got my old P133
back from a friend and decided to make one more attempt at putting Linux at
the center of my network.  I had RH 6.1 on the P133 at one time, but
X-Windows ran really slowly.

This time, I'm moving my Win2k Pro to the 133 freeing up a P 700 for good
ol' Red Hat.

I've got everything moved and changed, all the disk switched etc. and the
Win2k box up and running.  Now I am installing Red Hat 7.1 and...

It keeps crashing each time the installer gets to the formatting stage. The
very last thing I see is 'Formatting /home filesystem', then it just hangs.

Info:
Doing a 'Server' install.
Taking all the package groups.
I have a new 20 gig hard disk that I prepared with one large Fat32
partition.  I tried to install when the disk was fresh but got an error
early on in the install process saying 'No partitions to install on' or
something.
I used the Western Digital EZ-Drive utility to partition the disk.


Any ideas on how to get through or around this?
