Error when creating Install

[newbie56]

My partition scheme from a cd installation looks like this:

Raid Devices
/dev/md0 /common ext3 29996.3MB
Hard Drives
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 510MB
/dev/hda2 / ext3 1028MB
/dev/hda3 /dev/md0 software Raid 14998MB
/dev/hda4 Extended 35691MB
/dev/hda5 /dev/md0 software Raid 14998MB
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 4997MB
/dev/hda7 /opt ext3 4997MB
/dev/hda8 swap 298
Free Free Space 15406MB

For some reason I am receiving this error message when the installation program gets set to start building the partition scheme:

Your selected packages require 1336mb of free space for installation, but you do not have enough available. You can change your selections or reboot.

I don't get why this message is popping up because I have 15406mb in free space. Any help would be appreciated.

/dev/hda2 / ext3 1028MB

The / (root) partition is 1GB. It needs to be larger just to install the base OS.


Edit:

/dev/md0 /common ext3 29996.3MB
...
/dev/hda3 /dev/md0 software Raid 14998MB
...
/dev/hda5 /dev/md0 software Raid 14998MB

And you have 2 partitions from the *same* physical HDD making up a RAID0 stripe...



It would not make any sense to do that.

I needed more space allocated in the root directory. I bumped it up to 2048. Thanks for the quick reply.

2048 is not ideal. I suggest at least 7 GB.
