In addition to the other reply. I've recently installed FC3 on two K6 2
300Mhz machine with 192MB ram and 256MB. Tried to use a 3GB
drive, but wasn't enough space for the workstartion install, so was
able to get it with a 5GB drive. You might want to try switching the
40GB drive as the master, if not a problem
You might also what to look at the bug report, it has an update that
deals with hard drive setups. It includes an update to the disk setup.
