Hi there.

I recently got ahold of Redhat linux 6.1.
Im fairly new to linux, I would like to know why each time I try to install,
it says boot partition too big. Even if i dont create a boot partition and
just create a root and swap partition, I cant carry on without it.

ive got a 16 gig harddrive, 13 gigs is used for windows, and I left the rest
of the space unpartitioned for RH linux.

How can I solve this problem ?, how do I go about ?.

Pls and many thanks

Derek
