Binand, Yunus,
Thanks for your fast reply :-) I will try this option tommorrow
Itself ( I am not carrying the laptop now as it is _*veryFast*_ ,pentium 90
8mb and 95 ;-) )
I have mentioned , my harddisk space is only 750 MB :-(
How much *minimum* space do redhat 6.2 require. ??
Will it be fast ?? / even will it be ok .. I know , if I run X ti will
become very slow . I have experinced it in 64MB and even 128MB Machines
