It seems that on Sat, 19 May 2001 21:58:01 +0100, someone claiming to be "nick nack" <dindinicknospam@hotmail.com> typed this: > hello. > i have linux redhat 6 ( i know its old! ) and i can't install it. maybe Its very very old with lots of security problems. There have been a few years of development and newer version are much friendlyer. Try Red Hat 7.1 or Mandrake 8.0. > whan i tring to hit "next" i get the message : "no root partition - you > must assign a root (/) partition to a kinux native partition (ext2) for > the install to proceed". Each partition should have an option to set the mount point. One of them need to be "/", I would also set up others to be "/boot" (10 MB) and "/home" (however much you need to store personal files for all users). -- David Dorward http://www.dorward.co.uk/ The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. -- Mark Twain
