Bug Description

I have been viciously limiting my install directory to 2
Gigs in size. When I auto configured the entire drive the silly thing
took off like a scalded cat. This leads to new questions:

1. What is the minimum size for a manually partitioned install and...

2. Does the install process check to see if it has enough hard drive to do
   the job, and ...

3. Why would the manual partitioner on the install disk allow you to make a
   bootable partition smaller than is needed for the installation.

My latest attempt was on a 4 gig partition, and the load was successful.
Anyway, my next step is to try to load auto on a 2 Gig drive...

Regards,

Flint
