I need to partition my HD on my Windows XP machine so that I can put Linux
on it. Because it uses the NTFS format it appears that the only way I am
going to be able to partition it is to use the software product "Partition
Magic."
I've Google-searched and searched the hardware compatibility list at Redhat
and cannot find whether the Dell Dimension 4300S is, or is not, certified to
run Linux on.
Anyone know??? I'm trying to install RH8.0 on one, and it seems to install
OK but there are some problems. If the hardware is not

Yeah, I checked that. I notice that Redhat is the one that did the test, also.

This is related to a previous problem, but since I have it narrowed down a
bit figured it would be best to start a new thread.
My ethernet adapter is a CNet PRO200WL. This was certified by Redhat for
Linix. However, RH8.0 is loading the wrong driver for it. It loads dmfe,

This may be a dumb question, with the answer glaringly obvious. But I hate
to make assumptions. Doing so has bit me in the past.

are on a LAN, at my home. Since this updating is kind of a courtesy from

One of my three RH8.0 machines on a LAN has access to the internet, through
a dial-up modem. The other two do not have access, so I want them to use
the first machine as a router. I gather that the solution to doing this is

I have seen documentation that claims that one can mount an NTFS file

I'm getting information overload :-)
People have asked me specific questions, and I have done some checking on
things. As a result of doing that, I have been able to get telnet and ftp

Nice to get it working, though).
