[PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
Hi all, I am having my own personal computer running on windows 95. I have C / D / E / F / G drives with FAT 32 file system with lot of information on it. I can format one drive out of these. Can I install Linux on it ? (i.e. format F:\ and load Linux). Later on I want to load Apache also on it. Is it feasible ? Any information about this on web ? If I format one drive and load Linux whether other drive info will get affected ? manisha -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, that's the idea behind having multiple drives ( or partitions ). If you format F and load Linux on it, then that won't affect any other partition... -jack Manisha wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am having my own personal computer running on windows 95.

Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
its much more than that however, I have Linux, 98, win2k and NT server on my box..which has 2 physical hard drives and 5-6 partitions. However I strongly suggest you read up on this subject of multi-boot. You have to take into consideration that most operating systems require up to the first 4-8 mg of the hard drive and the boot files for NT OS's require to be on the first physical hard drive at the first 2mg. Keep in mind also that LILO, the Linux booting file cannot exist on same partition with any NT OS's. It appears you only have 95 at this time so it wont be quite as complicated at this time. You will have to get a boot manager that will handle partitioning different partition types-NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, LINUX. One that will partition these without messing up the others that you have already. -Original Message- From: Jack Dempsey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Manisha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 8:43 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ? >Yes, that's the idea behind having multiple drives ( or partitions ). >If you format F and load Linux on it, then that won't affect any other >partition... > >-jack > >Manisha wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> I am having my own personal computer running on windows 95.

Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
I have Pentium II Processor with 64 MB RAM. The drive which I am thinking of converting into Lihnux (F:) has 2.92 GB hard disk space. Current file system is FAT 32. I am thinking of loading Red Hat Linux (may be latest version) and Appache web server by formating that drive. I know I can have appache on Windows, but as my client's environment is different and as I have urge to learn Linux I want to install Linux on my m/c itself. Whether above mentioned hardware is ok to install Linux ? manisha At 08:58 PM 4/24/01 -0500, Wade DeWerff wrote: >its much more than that however, I have Linux, 98, win2k and NT server on my >box..which has 2 physical hard drives and 5-6 partitions.

Although, this is nothing to do with PHP. You have several options to use Win and Linux - Multi-boot with separate partitions - Multi-boot with umsdos (You can install Linux in windows partition with this) - Virtual machine - use VMWare for example. You can use windows and Linux at the same time. Slow though. (VMWare works really well with my W2K box. I don't use it often, but it's really useful sometimes) You also can change partition size without deleting contents. Linux Documentation Project web site has a lot of documents. http://www.linuxdoc.org/ For further questions, ask in Linux related news or mailing list.

Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
Is it ? Current my Hard disk space for drive F:\ is 2.92 GB which is just fine for the time being. Do you mean to say that I can increase from 2.9 GB to let us say 4GB by taking it from some other drive may be D:\ ? Can you explain some more ?

Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
Hi all, Again I am here asking the same question as I got confused because of my colleague's comment. I asked my colleague (who is in charge of all network administrator - setups - hardware configurations etc etc etc)). I asked the same question that I am having 4 drives, I want one drive to be converted into Linux. He is saying that if I want to format one drive (F:) out of total 4 drives and install Linux, then I need to do lot of configurations. According to him I need to change BIOS set up of windows so that it will understand 2 boot sections. Currently my window system is recognising only one boot system and some predefined partitions. So if I want to remove one partition and change to Linux, I need to repartition i.e. format again. That means lot of info which is on other drivers will be wiped off.? Is there any remedy for this ? I want my all other drives running properly whenever I am in Windows and I should be able to use Linux commands when I am in Linux system. Can any body comment ? manisha -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
Obviously, not all file systems cannot be resized w/o loosing contents. You can use GNU parted, FIPS, etc to resize partitions w/o loosing contents. GNU parted supports resizing FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and Linux-swap. You should have unused spaces to shrunk partition size obviously. Tools like Norton Ghost is also handy to upgrade/change partition size. I use Ghost to get larger partition than 4GB for WinNT system drive. It works for me to get 8GB system drive for WinNT4 Server at least. I use tar for Linux, but Ghost supports ext2 also. Ghost could also be used to change partition size, if you have extra HDD/tape drive/etc what ever Ghost supports. They might still have trial version on Symantec web site. For further questions, ask in Tool, Hardisk or Linux related news or mailing list.

I don't understand why you're having so many partitions. Unless you've got a good reason for this I would reinstall the lot with less partitions and install Linux as part of the process.

Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
If you have separate physically separate drives and F is one of them. Installing it should not be too big a problem. Nothing is your "Windows Bios should need to be changed" This has to do with your master boot record. Grab a Linux dist. Most of them come with good installers now adays and make it quite easy to install. Upon installtion Linux will rewrite your MBR and use lilo or some other boot manager instead of windows default boot manager. After installtion you will get the option of booting into windows or Linux. For the most part..ealier posts were correct..this is not the list for this persay:/ Also if you are a newbie to linuxget a different machine or be prepared to lose data or windows on your present machine.

I said be prepared. Not that it would happen. Considering the learning curve of linux..I think it is only fair to say that mistakes are likely to happen, in particular for a newbie.

RE: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
the learning curve is smaller than most people think... if you are willing to learn, and refuse to be intimidated by the reputation that has been built up around linux, i doubt you'll have any problems installing and running/using it in a lot of ways, i think linux is probably a more "natural" OS for programmers... we're used to big scary text files where a single incorrect semicolon can cause unheard of errors in far reaching parts of the code linux is much the same way... a single obscure config file can bring down your entire system if configured incorrectly :) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 3:47 PM > To: B. van Ouwerkerk > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ? > > > > I said be prepared.

It can happen.. to be honest.. you don't need to install Linux on a windooz box to loose data .. Winbug can already take care of that :-) Bye, B. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?
Of course you can run both win95 and linux in the same machine! You can install linux on your F: drive and run a OS loader such Lilo at startup (lilo is installed with your linux distribution)! Go ahead... install Linux!!! BTW, there is a Apache version for Windows!
