hi, if i were to do a full Redhat9 install (i.e. installing everything, what size partition would u recommend making? this partition will only be for Redhat, i'll keep all documents, music, movies etc in a seperate shared partition. using partition magic what sort of setup do u think i should have
e.g.
already installed size?, position? (before/after ###############################################
# FAT # # # #
#(DELL # NTFS(XP) # LINUX # NTFS(DOCS) #
# UTIL)# 5GB # 3GB? # 20GB #
###############################################
cheers, sam
===== Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== Another recommendation (from someone who was a newbie with RedHat once) - if your hard disc is large enough, RedHat gives you an option to install "everything" which I found very helpful when learning. My progress was not hindered by having to install anything.

here's my laptop specs in case they help determine the best installation method for Redhat9 (via CD)
1.4 GHz pentium mobile 512MB RAM 30GB

According to the manual greater than 5GB. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-steps-partitioning.html
From memory a full install used about 4.5->4.7GB of disk space.
