Cannot install f11 beta -- not enough disk space?

[yesterday]

Hi,
I'm having problems installing from the 64-bit DVD. Whenever I get to package selection I'm told I don't have enough diskspace to continue. This is on a drive with 640GB of space.

I have 7GB /, 3GB /var 80GB /usr, and the rest /home.

/ is ext3, all other are ext4.

I'm running an Intel 8200 on an ASUS P5Q mobo.

The correct sizes are detected during the disk formatting stage.

The drives are WD Caviar Blue SATA drives.

Please help!!

Seems OK disk space wise.

Try formatting the whole lot as / to remove any partition size problems. If it proceeds past the install point from here, you can complete the install, then figure out how much space has been used with:

df -k
du -sk /var
du -sk /usr
du -sk /home
du -sk /boot

That should give you the relevant figures to find out how much kb are used in each area. Subtract the /var, /usr, /home & /boot number from the df -k value to find the space used by root.

As a guide, I've got a fairly comprehensive F11 install in a KVM guest with a 10Gb virtual disk. There's still 5.5Gb free on root.

Cheers

Thanks
I'll give it ago.

I remember having a similar problem a while back when trying the rawhide snapshot netinst isos , so I'm not sure if it's an anaconda problem or what
