> How big is your Harddrive?
ITS 20.4 GB and I have set aside 2.5 gb (logical) for linux plus 133.3 mb
(logical) for the swap file that partition magic makes from the wizard.
There is an extended partition which they both sit in.(which is called
Primary)

> How you pratitioning your hard drive?
With the Linux wizard in Partition Magic 5.0 .......I have the open Linux
2.3 setup manual and it seems to be very straight forward but this Panic
Error occurs on the first screen at the top "Kernal Panic Unable to mount
root fs on 08:04"

I know lots about Windows but absolutely nothing about Linux.

I have been trying to set this thing up using open Linus 2.3 and setting up
from windows as described in the manual but it wont get past the first setup
window as I have described.

> and other info regarding your system
Its a dell P111 600 Coppermine Processor. 128 Mb Ram stand alone machine
blar blar blar

Can somebody post me their setup proceedure for Red Hat 6.1 or open Linux
2.3 while using partition magic 5.0 on a new DELL machine.
