[TriLUG] Fedora installation issue

[Carlos J. Cela]

I had a similat issue days ago with my Thinkpad. The installer wanted 
about 2GB free on /tmp and did not like the extended partition for /. 
What I ended up doing was to leave only 3 partitions in the disk (XP, 
swap, /) instead of having a separate /boot partition. That worked.
