say I have a 2 GB partiton and I load RHL 6 with everything that comes with
the CD and I want to use it as a standalone desktop. Can you suggest the
partitions and the approx space to allocate for them ? Actually you see I
just bought a new 8gb hdd and I've got three empty partitions of 2 gb each;
on one of which I want load RHL 6.
thanx,
sharukh.
