Altough i tried with all the conventional methods i can't install
Red Hat Linux 5.0 on my PC without destroying my primary Win98
partition.
I have a 2,1GB Maxtor HD with 2 partitions on it.Primary (active):1,8GB and
extended 0,2GB.When trying to make the partitions i have this error:"You
must assign a root partition to a linux native partition for install to
procede".Why?
What can i do to install correctly Linux without repartition all of my disk?
