Nope. You can select the partition you want to format, even go without any
formatting.

In reply to your second question, yes, 7.1 does have an upgrade option.
I used it to move from 7.0 -- it took a long, long time -- hours as
opposed to the 45 minutes or so that it took to install 7.0. Since there
wasn't all that much non-distro stuff on the drive, it might have been a

but not remove them during the first part of the install,
please e mail back if you need any more info.

Hi,
If you want to install Mandrake over RedHat, just boot your computer with
the boot disk from Mandrake (or a pure DOS boot disk). Proceed with

Hey folks. . .
About a year ago, I partitioned my handdrive and installed a copy of Redhat
5.2 on my PC. I've spent very little time fooling with it since. I've now
