[newbie] Basic Help

2000-03-17 Thread Ronald Brown




Hello Group,

In the install process, it asks the following 
question.

What partition and directory on that partition 
holds the Mandrake/RPMS and Mandrake/base directory?

If you remember from my post yesterday, all my 
files are on my hard drive. Actually: C:\7.0 
I have tried everything I could think of and there 
is no docs on this part of the install. I guess I am just to old and used to a 
Windows enviroment. If you can help, that would be great.

Thanks
Ron

Ron,

From what you are saying it looks to me you have used 'Lnx4Win' to
install.  If so then I would suggest you remove that setup and go with
the 'lilo', it is much faster.  If Ole' Windows crashes on you 'Linux'
will be lost and require a reinstall.  What Lnx4Win does is creates your
Linux Part in a Windows Dir from what I have understood and that is NOT
GOOD.

I thought I knew that I knew what I thought
But now I know that what I thought I knew
Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
