Tha_rooster Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 ok I need redhat 9.0 too for a server on my LAN. Tried to install it but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. I have a 11gb disc in nfts format with WinXP on it. Any idea on how i can get it to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THA_monkey Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Guys check out the tutorial on redhat's website, it is really useful and explains step by step. [quote] have a 11gb disc in nfts format with WinXP on it[/quote] You can't install linux on an ntfs partion, or a fat32 one for that matter, you have to have an [b]unpartitioned[/b] part of your harddrive, with nothing on it. i.e you have about 6GB of your hard drive partitioned for Winxp, and the rest is nothing...Empty space, nadda Then you can install linux on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_pothead Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 redhat has a utility that is called disk druid. use it to create a linux aprtition and a swap partition. otherwise there will be no linux for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
