I was able to get beyond the parition situation, I just went along and it
turned out fine.  Now, during the installation I can't get it to go further
than a certain oint.  1st, like I said in an eariler posting, I have drive
c-239M, d-202M.  I started out with creating /(root)-hda1, /usr-hda5,
/home-hdb1, and swap-hda6.  I don't have var or /usr/local (can I get away
with that?) anyway, it goes and scans, does what it does
BTW, I'm using Disk Druid.  It starts with root fine, then it gets to hda5
and it doesn't go through.  It gives me an error saying mount failed:
invalid arguement.  Can anyone tell me what this means?  I tried making
changes by trial and error by adding and taking things off of the
installation list.  I don't think the problem is that I'm tring to install
more than the memory available because I tried installing the least amount
and I get the same result.  I also tried changing the amount of memory in
each of the mount points.

If possible can anyone tell me what might be my problem, and also if you had
2 hard drives with this memory amount how would you distribute it
efficiently?  Thanks a bunch, I greatly appreciate any help.
