I have not installed RH6.0 so there may be few difference - but the general
procedure is

1. Boot Linux - use bootable CD, Boot Floppy or Loadlin
2. Run fdisk (Linux version) to create linux partition
3. Run setup to install various packages and configure

Have U run fdisk to create a linux partition?
