I found that I had to NOT check the force primary partition box and use max space up to 200 (had a 1 in that field) or so, but the partitions were created with all remaining free space like I wanted.

The server only has CD no DVD, guess i can get a SL 6.1, disc 1
I had to do a CentOS-5.5 install from CD1, On this same server model.

I ended up creating a new install CD by removing the BX CD "CentOS base"
rpms and adding the ones from the CentOS-5.5 CD1
It worked thne, I still use that same CD

BlueOnyx-5.5-20100519.iso was the one I had to fix
