Sorry for the last FAT16 note. afaik you need a FAT16 partition to dual-boot the box.

The computer always freezes during the installation process (when the packages are being installed/copyed) I have partitioned my drive with a Windows partition at the beginning and Linux at the end of the drive(/ = 6Gig, 512swap and about 2Gig /home). I have tried the text installation method but it also crashes. I have pretty shitty hardware in this machine, it is one of those integrated systems with the NIC, soundcard and AGP bundled into the motherboard. The video card is Alladin RIVA TNT2 with 32 MB memory. Intel Pentium 800Mhz processor and 20 GB drive. It has one 256MB RAM chip and 52x CD ROM. I do know that I can't run Win 2000 nor Win XP on this machine due to shitty hardware. Only Win 98 works on it. I'm starting to think that the RedHat CD is bad or something. I bought the Red hat 7.1 Bible and got the CD with it. The weird thing is that I do have an old Redhat 5.2 system CD that installs fine from the CD rom. What does that tell you? Is it possible to install from the FAT32 Windows partiton, if I copy the RPMS and Base to it? I have tried it but the Linux installation program always says that the directory I point to doesn't have the CD images or something like that. Isn't it enough to copy the base folder and RPMS folder into a directory on the Windows Partition and point to that directory during the install? I have tried copying only the RPMS and Base directories and also the whole CD but neither does work. Do you guys have any suggestions? my best, Bjarki Bjorgulfsson _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
