Please let me install natively on my 1.9gb partition.....please please please


As ViRAL said
about that hdd thing, i have the seagate 10.4gb, when i formated my f: it woz only 1.9 gb tho??? when i did a native(without bios) it had an error while extracting rootfs in stardust, i'm guessing cos not enough space. does 100mb really make dat much diff?
I am guessing there is a little fix we could do to one of the files (initrd?) but as a linux rank amateur I don't really know where to start, could anyone give us any tips please.

You can already install natively to F: on a stock 10gb hdd. Ive done it on my xbox. It leaves you with 280MB free.

ViRAL: I'm 23, and I still live with my parents, but they don't buy me hard-drives :( AND I have to pay rent :x

ShALLaX: Like I said in my first post I have the seagate 10.4gb and it tells me there is not enough space to do a native install. But also the partition only seems to be 1.9gb. I formated it with evox some time ago, I don't know if that has anything to do with it?
