Stephen, Here is what I am recommending in the How-To that I am currently writing. It assumes that you already have some knowledge of Linux:
---------begin quote----------- Partition the drive. The RedHat installer does a VERY poor job of auto-partitioning drives; however, you will still need to run it to gather certain information. Tell it you want it to automatically partition the drive(s), but you want to confirm the choices it makes. Note the amount of space that is allocated to /boot (usually 47 MB) and to swap. Now delete the swap partition and the / partition. Leave /boot (usually the first partition) as is. Create a new / partition, but only assign a few gigabytes to it. If you're installing both Gnome and KDE, your stock install will come in at about 2 ½ GB. Plus you'll want to add apps such as OpenOffce, so you'll probably want at least 4 GB here. More is better, but remember you need to leave space for user files and swap. Create a partition that uses almost all of the remaining free space, with just enough left for the swap partition. Allocate the remaining hard drive space for swap. Choose ext3 for all of the partitions (except swap, of course), and it's a good idea to check the box that says, "Check for bad blocks during format." --------------end quote------- Ken Barber On Tuesday 23 July 2002 04:46 pm, Stephen Liu wrote: > Hi Sandro, > > Yes.
