Thanks, Rick.
As I recall I do have extra space available on the disk that hasn't been
assigned to any partition. Would it help to make another partition of
it ? If so, would I have to also make a filesystem or would anaconda
prefer it unformatted ?
You have to make sure that "unassigned" space is big enough to hold the
system and you'll have to have at least two partitions available in the
table--one for "boot" and one for the root of the OS (you can only have
16 partitions).
I can't recall how big the space needed is offhand, but it's in the F11
(Fedora 11) release notes available online.
