Hi Gang,
I have reconsidered installing linux - now that I have all
my ducks in a row.
I had NT installed on an ex-corporate machine. So there were a lot
of nifty programs
but no meat behind them. I opted to discard this and install W 95
instead. I now have
it installed on 1.25 Gb of a 2Gb disk. I figured I would install the
linux on the remaining
disk space. It says I have .98Gb of available space on drive D, drive
C has W95.
A slight aside here but W95 left me with only 100Mb out of
1.25Gb. Is that right?
I'm wondering if I need to partition or can I just install right to the
available drive D?
there is one folder on D, and it is labled games, I could care
less about these. So I
presume I can over-write what ever is there. Or maybe I should format D
so there is
nothing on it.
Ah ha, I just remembered the second ?, your
documentation says that the OS
needs to be loaded in the first 1024 cylinders. What does this mean
if I have a split
drive how do I know which is the first 1024 cylinders? It sounds as if
I should format
the entire hard drive, assign the linux partitions, then reinstall W95
when I'm done.
Is any of this making sense? Thanks in advance ofr your help. Ed
