Greetings,

I'm having a problem with autoinstall and partition sizing. I have it doing everything correctly (as far as I can tell so far) but no matter what I put for partition size, I keep getting an error popup telling me that "The selected partitions are not big enough to contain a minimal installation".

Here is what I have:

<partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <size>max</size> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> </partition> </drive> </partitioning>

<use>free</use> should help! You have to specify where the new partitions should be created, hence, free space. And max works only with last partition on the drive, so you have to specify the exact size, i.e. 20GB.

I have set the max size to 20gb (and other numbers too) to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction? There is just under 30 gb of unpartitioned space on a 40 GB drive. Win2k is on the first 8 gb.

Thanks in advance.
