Re: [ilug-cal] P4 & RH7.2

[Chayan Ray]

Dear Friend Windows 2000 advanced server requires 256 MB of RAM (minimum). If you facing any problem installing it, it may be due to the above.   The following steps may be of help in installing Linux and Windows on the same machine. 1)Insert Windows Boot disk and create an  RAM drive. 2)Partition the drive in minimum 2 partitions using fdisk. 3)Insert Windows CD and install windows on one partition which becomes the C drive. 4)Insert Linux CD. Select Disk Druid in RH (custom partitioning in Mandrake) The partition with windows installation will be shown as hda1. Select the other partition to install. Create root, swap partitions . 5)On LILO writing option, write it in the MBR. 6)On finishing installation, remove CD and reboot. On rebooting, on the command prompt boot, type 'dos' for windows or 'linux' and boot to the respective OS. However for partitioning, I prefer Partition magic, use it if you can.   Have you tried the upgrade option in RH  7.2? Once faced such a problem when trying to install PCQ Linux 7.1. It turned out that a particular file was corrupted and the installation got aborted every time with a message to submit the bug to bugzilla.   Keep in touch and tell me more if you face any other problems.   Yours Chayan i'm facing problem installing rh 7.2 on my intel mother board D845WN for intel p-4 with nVIDIA RIVA TNT2, creative soundblaster platinum and 128mb sdram. while rh 7.1 works perfectly on the same hardware configuration. whenever i'm trying to install rh 7.2 after 30% - 40% of completion it gives signal 11 and terminates on both ext2/3 file systems. do you guys have faced any problem such like this? please inform me. any of you guys tried installing window$ 2k advanced server, solaris 8 and linux on the same or different hdd(s) ? i've gone through various documentations. if any of you have practical experiance on it please let me know and share your knowledge with me.
