>Reboot using your Linux Installation CD – I use Redhat 6.2 which is
|
|
fairly straight forward and I will focus on it. Most Linux distributions
|
|
have really worked on their installation programs and you shouldn't have a
|
|
problem. Just have the details about your hardware in hand, the horizontal
|
|
and vertical refresh rate of your monitor in case the installation program
|
|
doesn't automatically detect it ( you will find the exact figures in the
|
|
manual ), the video card, its memory type ( <SPAN
|
|
CLASS="ACRONYM"
|
|
>SDRAM</SPAN
|
|
> or
|
|
<SPAN
|
|
CLASS="ACRONYM"
|
|
>SGRAM</SPAN
|
|
> ) and size, and your mouse type –
|
|
<SPAN
|
|
CLASS="ACRONYM"
|
|
>PS2</SPAN
|
|
> or Serial. As I mentioned earlier you will have to
|
|
make about <TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>3</TT
|
|
> partitions for Linux, you can make more
|
|
but <TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>3</TT
|
|
> is the recommended number. There are
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>3</TT
|
|
> main installation types,
|
|
<EM
|
|
>Workstation</EM
|
|
>, <EM
|
|
>Server</EM
|
|
> and
|
|
<EM
|
|
>Custom</EM
|
|
>. The Server class install erases everything in
|
|
the hard disk so beware. The workstation and custom installs have
|
|
sub-classes but that's for you to explore.</P
