by My summer project is to install Redhat Linux and learn how to use it.
Present setup:
Drive 0(Seagate IDE, 1.06G) -- Win95 on C:(FAT), OS/2 on F:(HPFS),
Programs on E:(FAT)
Drive 1(WD IDE, 3.1G) -- D:(FAT), G:(HPFS), H:(HPFS, nothing on it).
Vision USTech computer with an IBM Cyrix 6x86 133 and 1996 Award BIOS
with LBA. 32MB RAM.
I would like to install Redhat 4.1 in H: on the second hd. It is
approximately 1G, which can be changed with Partition Magic. I want to
keep Win95 and OS/2.
Q1: The installation itself looks pretty straightforward, but what do I
have to do before I start the installation? What must I do to the
partition before I can install Linux to it?
Q2: Should I create several smaller partitions instead of the one large
one?
(I have no experience with Linux whatsoever -- as if you couldn't
tell.)
