i've got a problem installing red hat 7.2 it takes me to where it partitions
the drive, i just reformatted my sony vaio notebook and partitioned it so i
could install linux on one of the partitions, but when i try to install red
hat it takes me to the auto partition and when i try to select my extended
drive it says i must create a root partition? i can't get any further than
that, any help would be appreciated, thx.
