Even after having done several Linux installations (some a lot more challenging than others), I am still a bit intimidated by it.
Now, I'm about to undertake another and I hope the PLUG brain trust can provide some guidance, perhaps a concise installation checklist for this next attempt. I have a box with win-xp installed on a 100-gig HD and I need the following: 1. How (most efficiently) to shrink and repartition for a dual boot with xp on perhaps 20 gig and the rest for installing two Linux distros. 2. I've installed PCLinuxOS several times and I (by far) prefer the older version with KDE 3.5, so I want to put it on one set of partitions using about 20-gig. 3. On the rest, I want to install whatever Redhat based distro might work best with Virtual Box (which I have never been able to get to work before). Some have recommended Cent OS (I've been told that there is a KDE 3.5 version available). Any guidance to make this as concise, easy, and efficient as possible for a 20-year perpetual "newbie" user would be extremely appreciated. ;) --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
