Subject: [newbie] linux 6.0 instalation question
Hello,
I just picked up linux 6.0, and I want to know if I can install linux on a 4
gig partition that I already created on an 8.4 gig drive?Windows is also
installed on the other partition of that drive.
Yes and No.
You shoudl install Linux on a partition formatted with the ext2 filesystem,
not the fat filesystem that DOS/WIndows uses.
During the install, use DiskDruid to delete the fat-formatted 4 gig
partition, then create a 128 MB Linux swap partition and then create a
partiton named / for the remaining disk space.
