If you are using the boot disks I posted, you aren't doing a minimal Red 
Hat install any longer. You are installing a smaller version, because the 
updates disk includes it's own comps file and install classes.
It should take about ~140M when complete, but the installer will believe 
that it needs closer to ~ 225M.

I don't know off the top of my head how big a base Red Hat install would 
be, but I'd expect 500M to be enough.

It sounds as if your install died when it was partitioning/getting ready 
to activate swap. So you are close. If you can get to the point of 
enabling swap, the install should complete.
