Hi all,

I wish to install RH 5.2 on my Win95 machine which has Drive E: (890 Mb)
free for this.  However when I try to install I am offered drive hda1
and hda2 and advised to delete the DOS details for hda2.

I am afraid to do this as I feel this will also wipe all the data I have
on drive D: which also resides on hda2.

Can any one help please?

Also is there a switch that can be used with startx to select the
monitor being used.  I am installing on a notebook for which I also have
a large external monitor which will at times be connected.


Cheers


John
