Can someone help me, I have got a PC with a 20GB Harddisk, Windows 2000
Professional is installed on the first 5 Gb partition. The rest have not
been partitioned. I would like to install Linux Redhat 7.0 on this machine
dual bootable with Win2000. How will I go about doing it without
uninstalling Win2000.
Could someone please give me the procedure or point to the right place on
the net.
Thanx,
Me, Myself and I

I imagine a good deal the info will apply to 2000 as well, especialy the
first link. (It's been updated recently)

1. Installing Core Linux on Win98/Win2k dual boot system - help please !!!
I have just downloaded Corel Linix from the web and would like to set it up
on my machine to have a look at it - afterall - everyone says its brilliant
- but i want to have a mess with it.
I have 2 hard drives in my machine (both FAT32)
C: drive - Win98 FE
D: drive - Win2k
I will shortly be swapping these around so that Win2k is on C drive and
Win98 on d drive.
I will be creating a 5Gb partition on C drive (20Gb total) for Linux. I will
do this using Partition Magic Ver 5 - Will there be any problems with Linux
if i create the partition this way ?
I installed Win98 first and then Win2k - so it is using the standard Win2k
boot menu to allow me to dual boot between either OS.
I am pretty sure the installation of Linux onto my 5Gb partition will be
easy enough - but i am worried about the setup of the boot menu. Will Linux
automatically detect the presence of Win98 and Win2k and add itself to the
boot menu ? Or do i need to use another boot menu to set all this up ?
I would be very grateful if someone could either offer me advice on how to
do this or point me to a web site with detailed instructions or a walk
through for it.
Also - how good is Linux at detecting my hardware and having appropriate
drivers for it ? Whenever i have been searching for updated drivers for
Windows - i havent seen any Linux drivers. Where should i look for them if
it doesnt work correctly ?
Many thanks
Matt
