Hi,
You want delete all your partitions to reinstall Win and RedHat ? Boot with
the RedHat Install CD and choose repair at the first Boot-Screen, you get a
Recovery System, so you can use all Linux partitioning tools.

We just received a new RedHat v7.2 server from Dell. This is an
experiment to see how linux works compared to our current installation
of NT servers. This will be an intranet server behind our firewall.
Our 40gb drive came partitioned as follows:

Under 7.2, the web home dir is normally under
/var/www.

else.
If that does not work, I would make a link to a directory under /usr where
there is a lot of space.

I really think Apache uses /etc/httpd, is it safe to change that? Will
it affect other programs?
ColdFusion wants to install to /opt, is that safe to change? Should I
make a /usr/ColdFusion or /var/ColdFusion?

Apache is easy to change, edit the httpd.conf to show the

I'm concerned about installation. This came pre-installed. Normally with
Windows I would easily reinstall but I'm not sure about drivers or even

It is a Dell PowerEdge 350, it is however just a development server.

You'd need static versions of those utilities. Libraries are too big for
bootdisks. You can prolly manage to get the source and compile your own
static copies :)

Hi Warren,
Take my advice don't use fips. It is not safe as indicated in the warning

Depends on what you are doing with it. I usually do

100-150 for /
100-200 for /var
