Hi, I have a (hopefully) simple question. 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.
