As I have it now, my computer = runs on=20 Windows 95, but I have the Redhat Linux 5.0 Software and am ready to = devote=20 this computer to Linux. The problem is, I have already tried to install = it with=20 'System Commander" and have a partition on it already. Basically my hard = drive is partitioned in half, so instead of just my C: drive being a = hard=20 drive, I now I have D: drive that is the other partition to my hard = drive. I=20 uninstalled System Commander and sent it back and now I don't want Win = 95 and=20 Linux on the same machine as I did before, I just want Linux on it.How = can I=20 use the entire hard drive, even though already partitioned, for Linux? I = thought I could just install Linux as it is right over Windows, but I = get an=20 error about not having created a native Linux partition and it tell me = to go=20 back and create one, but I can't figure out exactly what to do. I would = really=20 appreciate a little guidence. Thank you. -Rich Christierrchristie@mkl.com ------=_NextPart_000_001C_01BD6E19.F18F9AC0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.2106.6"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><BR>Hi, I have a (hopefully) simple question.
