Hi,
I want to install RedHat 6.1 on a portable computer that I bought second
hand. There are a few problems though:
- I cannot enter my BIOS (howcome I don't know) but by startup the
computer always asks to run the SETUP and to press F1 to continu.
This leads to the fact that I cannot boot from CD-rom
- The second problem is that I do not manage to make linux boot
diskettes. How can I do this? In school we have computers running the
Linux Red Hat with the full installation. Is there any program in the
X-Windows that can make boot disks?
- And the third (and maybe most important problem) is that I do not
exactly now how to make my partitions. I wanted to make partitions
with fdisk (in DOS) but I'm only able to make one primary partition.
Do I need more than one? (My HD-capacity is about 650 Megs)
I hope I've reached the right people to help me. I'm getting pretty nerveous
over the fact that I spend nights behind my computer without any progress at
all. AND I REALLY WANT LINUX!
Sincerely yours,
Stef Potters
