Im having problems installing redhat 6.1, i bought it the other day and came to install it after reading the install guide, i am installing on a n amd k62 500 with a ten gig hdd an asus 52X cdr and 128 mb of ram and a 2mb cirrus logic graphics card, no sound card or modem yet, my problems start virtually imeadiatly, it says in the manual that when performing a workstation install that a gui should appear and there are pictures in the bookof this however i get a different set of images coming up more reminissent of a dos based environment, also i dont get the option of automatically partitioning my hard drive when i perform a workstation install, i have however had that option on a server based install. it seems to have installed correctly as a server install but i cant get it to boot into the os theres just a command prompt. being a windoze 2kpro user im unaware of what to do next. any ideas or suggestions gratefully recieved, thanks!!!!
--- go to http://www.tldp.org read everything you can before attempting this again. Particularly the 'Guides' section. Yes, Linux CAN work almost like a Windows box using the X-Windows system, but in this case, when your hardware isn't completely compatable with Linux, you'll need a lot more understanding of the nuts and bolts. Windows hides the nuts and bolts, Linux does not. I also suggest you get RedHat Linux v7.3 instead. There's a good chance the installer will pick up your hardware better. 6.1 is a bit on the old side now. Oh, and also, before I forget - do not post to the list in HTML again. A lot of people will ignore it. Regards, Ed. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
