HI!!
I joined your list in the past 24 hours.
I have downloaded the ISO images for MD 8.0 and am about to start the
install. I have Windows 98 on my system and wish to have a dual boot
capability.
I also have Partition Magic 5.0
In reading the MD User document, I am left with the impression that the MD
installer does not give me the option to allocate the existing unallocated
space on my drives to MD. Rather it seems to infer that it will overwrite
existing partitions to get the needed space.
Would I be better off setting the disk up with the necessary Win998 and
Linux partitions before I start the MD install process? I have one 6.4 GB
drive (C, E, F, G, H) and one 1 GB drive (drive D). I will collapse the
existing partitions on the large drive and make about 2.5 GBs available to MD.
As a total MD/Linux newbie, I really have no idea how to proceed so can
someone walk me through the process and provide me with recommendations on
how large each of my Linux partitions should be?
Thanks all.
Preston
