Thjis is my first solo try at dual boot install.
I would like to build a dual boot system at work.
I have taken a new job and have been bestowed with a pIII 700 with
196meg of memory and a 20 gig drive.
This is the standard desktop for the shop so please stop laughing.
They have graciously given me the go ahead to install linux as a second
OS.
I am going to use redhat 6.2 because I have a copy of it from my old
job.
I have partitioned the drive into 2 (10 gig for the windows fat32
partition and 10gig for the linux)
I have run into a snag very early on in a custom install
when I get to the partitioning piece of the redhat install it says the
/boot partition is too big.
here are the parameters I'm setting
set 10gig partition fat32 partition to /win2000
delete second 10 gig partition to free up space
then
set 50meg to /boot
set 200meg to <swap>
set 1500meg to / "root" (its big but I have plenty to spare)
set 4gig to /usr
thats all I set and it complains that the boot disk partition is too
big.
I am not able to continue
I do not want to blow away the windows (respect for my boss)
Thanks
Rob from no.weare
