I had asked for some advice last week about dealing with pre-installed
Windows XP on a laptop I was considering purchasing. If anyone is
curious, I had NO problems. The Vaio FX340 came with Windows XP on the C:
drive (approximately 6.5 gig) and a virtually empty D: drive formatted
NTFS. I just eliminated D: and formatted for my ext3 and swap partitions
in the empty space. RH 7.2 installed flawlessy and on intial boot, X,
sound, and everything else I've tried thus far just worked. I'm planning
on adding an additional 256M or RAM (about US$60) to the 128 on board.
That should have it running real comfortably ;o)
Thanks for the responses I did get. they were helpful in making my
decision.
Mike
