Before I go any further let me say I am a Linux/Unix Virgin so be
gentle. 8->
The only experience I have is with MS - DOS/Windows/Windows95. Sorry to
put that in for those of you that are eating.
I know absolutely nothing about the how-to's or the how-not-to's.
Subscribing to this litserv was suposed to help but you folx are way
over my wee-little head.
All questions and/or statements are based on not having a clue what I'm
doing (the story of my life. 8-> )
How to I partiton my HDD (Western Digital Caviar 4GB ATA Model 4000RTL)
without blowing out Win95? I had 4 partitions but I'm willing the blow
the F:\ drive which will give Linux 921 MB to live in. from what I
understand that should be more than enough.
Can I even install RHL in an extended partition?
I bought it for $29 at Electronics Boutique and I can't get it to
install.
I got the non - disk - included version (MaCmillan Distribution) so I
had to figure out how to make the boot diskette but can't figure out how
to make the swap diskette. How do I make this swap diskette? I know it
involves using RAWRITE but how to use it I haven't a clue.
I know I'm only supposed to ask 1 or 2 questions per letter but I am at
least overwelmed by all of this.
BTW I use Norton Utilities 2.0 for Win95. Someone told me this puts
some sort of marker on the primary partiton and maybe even
extended/logical patitions that can make it dificult to resize to
partiton[s]. Anyone know anything about this?
Well I'll stop for
this go around.
