[ILUG] Newbie Question

[ILUG] Newbie Question

Proably a stupid mistake I am making but please help. I am installing
RedHat 5 on a Dell machine. I am running Disk Druid to set up the
prtitions and all is fin until I try to set the root "/" partition. I m
trying to set it at 200MB but it says the root parition is too large and
refuses to set it. In fact it won't even  me set it for 1MB. There is
about 500MB of umpartitoned space left. The /usr, /usr/local and swap
partitions have all worked wihout fail.
I am instaling Linux along side windows 98 and using Systrm Commander
Deluxe for boot options. Disk Druid sees the Win 98 FAT 32 partition.
It's probably something ridicoulosly stupid but it keeps telling me the
root partirion is too large.
Hope somebody can help,
            Tom
