Hi, u gurus out there.

Help me with this.

I am trying to install RHL6.1 on my mach with p200 MMX and 2.1 gb hdd 32 mb 
RAM. Earlier (presenlty I am running now also) Win95 OS and now I want to 
learn Linux. The CD from which tried installing is PCQ Nov 1999. The mach is 
now having two partitions 700 mb with win95 and rest unformatted. I did the 
partition just now with FIPS (it melted down like a butter).

I dont even understand the jargons of Linux even. (like mounting, images 
etc). PLease suggest some good beooks for beginers and advance development.

My problem:

This is when I go into the default mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not able to format the new partition create dwith FIPS. (How do I 
format it ?) (I have gone thru the FIPS documentation atleast     10 times.)
As a newbie I tried installing Linux with formatting the unformatted 
partition, with lots of errror messages.
    What I believe is that it might be bcos I haven't yet formatted D: If 
that is the reason then how do I format it use for Linux.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If no and linux will format D: itself during installation (if it is supposed 
to do) then please tell me what does the following error message means, 
(what remains after everything scrolled up)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may safely reboot your system.
