I thought I set things up there in Mr. Disk Druid. There are some
warnings that don't seem clear to me.

Partitioning Warnings

Your root partition is less than 250 megabytes, which is usually too
small to install Red Hat Linux.

Your /var partition is less than 384 megabytes which is lower than
recommended for a normal Red Hat Linux install.

\--------------------------------

The thing of that is that I don't recall making any root partition.
