Well, that should be plenty big enough for the base system. I'm not
clear on whether you are using the base system from CD, floppies or
download. If it's floppies or CD, maybe there's a problem with the
images. You might try a download version if you can get your networking
up during the initial install.
BTW, you'll rarely get partitions that exactly match nice even numbers
like 2000M since it doesn't match with the disk geometry. Usually, it's
close enough though.
