Hi All: Got a laptop with Win XP Home, and considering to add RH 8.0 as a second OS, eventually migrating to Linux, since there are plenty of data in my laptop I do not want to lose (as opposed to freshly start with Linux as the sole OS and blow away the current OS).
That said, I want a dual boot. I think, (and please advise on this), I need a disk partitioning software to begin with. The primary partition in my machine is NTFS containing 15 GB (10 GB free space) and a second partition is FAT 32 (5 GB). I use DIAS for accessing the Internet. The machine runs on AMD Duron with 128 MB RAM. I tried to download Partition Magic software but it was not a freeware. Would greatly appreciate if you can advise on: (a) A reliable freeware for partitioning the disk (without losing data) - or the best way to partition the disk (b) Configuring DIAS (?threads at ilug-cal?) for RHL What must I know before trying to install Linux in this situation? A few pointers to relevant sites would be OK, I guess. I am a rookie with Linux.
