Redhat 8.0


Recommended Posts

Im gonna install redhat linux 8.0 and is it like mandrake when you install do i need to know my ip and that stuff? what do i definitely need to know to install it successful the first time?

Also

My computer consists of two harddrives, one that is split to C, and E

then one that is D and F

C,D,E are windows partions and i need those

can i install onto F only? its like 10 gigs so plenty of space? Or will i just have to use the whole "d" drive and only have C and E for windows?

if your F: is already a windows partition, then delete it and make it a linux partition and use one of the bootloaders, either lilo or grub i think (u can do all this through the redhat setup). you will still be able to access your other partitions through linux but while in windows your linux partition will be invisible

so should i just format the partion i want to use "F" right now with partitionmagic and waht linux format

Ext2 or Ext3

Format one of the partitions to ext2 and boot from the CD, the rest are self explanatory.

well.

I installed using ext2. and then convert to ext3.

if i really need partition magic, then i can convert back.

it is not as troublesome as you imagine. Just a command and a reboot solves all of your doubts.
