Hi there,
I've just finished downloading the .iso files for Mandrake 7.2 but I have a
few questions I want to ask about before I install it.
First of all.. I want to backup a lot of stuff from my current linux
system. I thought a cool way to do this would be to set up a
linux-partition-in-a-file the same way that Linux4Windows does.
This would be especially convenient for me to use in future since I have
FAR more fat32 hard drive space on my computer then ext2 hard drive space
(30GB and 6GB respectively). I want to be able to create a large file on
FAT32, then mount the FILE as a file-system and be able to do stuff with it.
Can anyone talk me through the process? Or point me to a website/FAQ/HOWTO
that explains it?
Next Question:
I'm interested in ReiserFS. But know almost nothing about it... I like the
idea of a super-stable-robust file system. But is ReiserFS better? Is it
stable? what are the risks if I install Mandrake on a completely ReiserFS
file-system? what are the advantages?
Again, if someone knows of a site or FAQ that can tell me all of this, just
point me to it.
Thanks alot
Tom
