 Need advice please help me out
Ok I bought Red Hat Linux 7 Bible and it came with 3 Cd's to install Linux I am trying to install on a system running windows 2000 Pro and Server on their own partitions of course. There is 14GB of available disk spaced unpartitioned and ready for Linux. I booted from the CD rom and began installation I get all the way to choosing a partition and I use disk druid and creat a 7 GB partition for Linux native and mount to / a swap partition of 64 MB like it said in the book but when I click next the computer reboots and some text quickly flashes saying something about mount failed or something like that any Ideas do I have to have a clean hard disk to install on?

/ should be an ext3 partition. For the most part swap partitions don't have mount points. Here's a simple setup that should work:
/ - 1GB ext3 partition
swap - 3x the amount of memory you have
/usr - the rest of the available space

Ext3 is a type of partition format, kind of like FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, etc. For non-swap partitions older versions of RH use ext2 by default and in newer version ext3 is used.
