Hmm kind of strange, I bet i saw this option in the CD i got and it sure is Redhat 8.0. I also saw ext3 but when i was searching stuff for dual boot i saw people mentioning only ext2 and vfat. by the way whats the advantage and disadvantage of ext2 and ext3. > if you're having trouble, you may want to look into winex. especially > if you're trying to play win32 games. but it's also packaged well, so > winex might be useful even if you're not trying to use something that > uses directx. Oh forgot to tell you. I dont want to use Wine for games. I have pretty good commercial App like WebPosition Gold. I want to run those through Linux. Otherwise i end up rebooting my system and then running it through Windoze. Thanks for the Info. You know You might see me more on this List cause I got Linux :) Have a great day.
