Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello People,
Long time no talk ;) I bought a new PC with two hard drives, one with Mandrake 9.0, the other Windows XP (I feel so ashamed ;)). I've kept my old PC too, which currently has the same configuration as the new one (two harddisks, one mandrake 9.0, the other Win XP). On my old PC, I'd like to replace Mandrake 9.0 with Redhat 8.0. - that means I'll have Win XP on one drive (NTFS) and RedHat 8 on the other. That way I can get a good taste of both distributions. The problem, as usual, comes with disk partitioning. Mandrake has a way of making things very easy, something which RedHat have still to perfect. There is an option in the installation program for Automatic Partitioning. This either removes all the partitions from your system (which I dont want, since I have an NTFS WinXP partition on the other hard disk) or, as described in the manual: "Remove all Linux partitions on this system select this option to remove only Linux partitions (partitions created from a previous Linux installation). This will not remove other partitions you may have on your hard drive(s) (such as VFAT or FAT32 partitions)." Does this mean that the installation program will erase my existing Mandrake installation, and put RedHat in it's place?
