Depending on Brian writes: Fips (last I checked) won't cut up Fat32 partitions. My suggestion would be to get your hands on a copy of Partition Magic and use that to carve up the drive. It even understands linux partitions. I would just resize the 36 GB partiton down to 30 or so and leave yourself a large chunk of unallocated space. Run the redhat install, partition out the unallocated space, and it'll install linux on it. The big problem you'll have with this is the large drive size... LILO has problems after cylinder 1023. Be sure when it asks you to create a boot disk you do that in case LILO pukes out.
