I have been installing Fedora 8 Linux with already having Windows Xp as my primary OS. I have a total of 80GB Hard disk.Out of 80 GB,I have freed 8GB for Linux. But during Installation after selecting language for keyboard and then choosing Create Custom Layout, while giving partitions I have allotted 4GB for '/' and 2GB for Swap. Initially space was created for root(/)...but it is unable to create space for swap and all other boot,home etc. It is showing the error message as Could not create partition as there is no space left for /(root)...

What is the reason behind this.? Plz guide me the solution...

Thanks in advance..
 
For a start I'd suggest using a newer version of Fedora as 8 is significantly out of date now. I expect many bugs in the installer/partitioner have likely to have been fixed in the interim.

Also how many partitions are there / will there be on the disk and what layout will they be?
