Hi, I'm just a beginner in Linux, and I'm trying to find my way with RedHat Linux and Corel Linux (Corel because it seems to setup very easy, and RedHat to learn a bit more). What I'm trying to do is having Windows 98 (for some applications I can't miss yet), Corel Linux and RedHat together on my PC, booting with BootMagic (from PowerQuest, comes with PartitionMagic) After installing Corel Linux, my RedHat doesn't work anymore (Kernel Panic), and Corel Linux always starts with a kind of bootmanager; I'd like to use BootMagic for that, but each time I go into Windows and set BootMagic active, I can't boot Corel Linux anymore ... Any idea's how to do this ? Another question: how do I arrange my partitions best ? For now, It's like this: 1. Linux Exf2 (Corel Linux) 1GB 2. Linux Exf2 (RedHat Linux) 1GB 3. Windows Fat32 (5GB) and then I have 15GB left. Should I put some directories on a separate partition (/home, /var, /usr, /usr/local) ? I don't even know what the difference between these is or what their purpose is ... If somebody could explain, I would be very grateful .. Can Corel Linux and RedHat Linux share that kind of partitions (or other partitions, or should I set them hidden in BootMagic ?) I also would set another Fat32 partition, to put data on that should be accessible from Windows and Linux (I thought to put that one last). Thanks for any help and/or suggestions, Stefan.
