Dear Sir,
At the time of installing Redhat Linux 7.1 I am facing the problem after doing the partions by using DiskDrud utility.At the time of TRANSFERING INSTALL IMAGE TO HARD DRIVE....AN ERROR OCCURED TRANSFERING THE INSTALLED IMAGE TO YOUR HARD DRIVE,YOU ARE PROBABLY OUT OF DISK SPACE.I selected Root partiton as 3.8 G.B and SWAP Partiton as 128 M.B.My system having 128 MB physical RAM,and I selected GNOME and KDE workstations .
Please clarify what may be the problem.

Last time I checked RH 7.1 uses about 3.8 GB of space so, you cannot install it unless you do a custom install and unchoose things you do not need.

Remove Window Managers you don't need. Like if you aren't going to use FVWM, WindowMaker, Enlightenment, and the like. Leave TWM, though. It's always nice to have as an alternative in case your KDE/GNOME wont load.

Next, leave out Apache and the like if you aren't using the machine as a web server (judging from your workstation preset you tried, I don't think you are.)

If you still can't do it, then I'm out of answers. I installed RH 7.1 in a 4.0 GB drive, with 2G partitioned for linux (when you add the /boot, /, and swap partitions together) and the other 2G to Windows 98, and it ran perfectly when I ran the custom install (I never use anything but custom, I've never tried workstation install for RH 7.1)
