[CLUE-Tech] Fedora Core 1 on a 4Gig HDD?

[Chris Schock]

Are you sure the CD is ok? Did you check md5's or use it to install on
another box?

It would also help if you could explain how you have your partitions laid
out. Specifically can you tell us how large your root partition is after
you carve out any swap space or other partitions?
