Re: dual boot suggestions
The method I found to work best is the following: create 3 partitions by what ever method works best for you. 1st partition 10meg will be linux boot 2nd partition ???meg will be windows partition. Make this the active partition 3rd partiton ???meg is the linux partition. Install windows in the second partition. It will not know the 1st partition exists and happly install in the second partition. Install linux into the third partition and install lilo or grub into the MBR. During the installation it will ask if you want to set-up the dual boot. david On 11 Jan 2002, gabriel wrote: > hey everyone > i'm about to attempt the ridiculous task of installing both win98 and > redhat on one hard drive and i'm looking for suggestions. > > i know, i know > the best thing i could do is get 2 hard drives and go that route, > but that's not an option at the moment. > > my problems as of late have been that both os's like to put their > partitions at the beginning of the hdd. so before i go about doing all > this again, i'm looking for some general "gotchas" you all might know > about. > > thanks for the help. > > > > ___ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I've confirmed this on the phone with them. If you go the Partition Magic route, you'd do well to stay with EXT2, NOT EXT3 John -- John P.

Alternatively if you don't want to pay for Partition magic here's how I did it. Install Win98 Defragment Get 'Ranish partion mgr.' from CNET.com (you could do this first of course) Read the instructions then squeeze your Win98 (currently hogging the whole disk) down to whatever suits you leaving a completely unaccounted for part of disk. Install redhat, it should be happy to just move into the unaccounted for part of your disk wihtout question or difficulty.

Hello there, if you have Win98 alreay onstalled then you could use Partition Magic 7 to make the Linux partitions. saves you all the head ache. After creating the EXT2 and swap partitions just boot from the linux install cd and the installation will go smooth as silk. jayamohan - Original Message - From: "gabriel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 4:51 AM Subject: dual boot suggestions > hey everyone > i'm about to attempt the ridiculous task of installing both win98 and > redhat on one hard drive and i'm looking for suggestions. > > i know, i know > the best thing i could do is get 2 hard drives and go that route, > but that's not an option at the moment. > > my problems as of late have been that both os's like to put their > partitions at the beginning of the hdd. so before i go about doing all > this again, i'm looking for some general "gotchas" you all might know > about. > > thanks for the help. > > > > ___ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

dual boot suggestions
hey everyone i'm about to attempt the ridiculous task of installing both win98 and redhat on one hard drive and i'm looking for suggestions. i know, i know the best thing i could do is get 2 hard drives and go that route, but that's not an option at the moment. my problems as of late have been that both os's like to put their partitions at the beginning of the hdd. so before i go about doing all this again, i'm looking for some general "gotchas" you all might know about. thanks for the help. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
