RE: [Plug] A question about installing Linux
|
While installing Linux as a dual boot, I create a boot disk, so that Linux
doesn't screw up my MBR and I can boot both systems.

Subject: [Plug] A question about installing Linux
I have been pretty much just lurking for a few months and decided it was
time to get a Linux box running.
I have a problem loading Red Hat. This is my first real attempt at Linux or
any Unix OS.
I have a P133 with 48 meg ram, a 4.3 gig western digital HD partitioned into
two ~2 gig partitions using Western Digital's EZ drive. My bios does not
support large drives. I have Windows 95 on the first partition and have
installed RH on the second partition. I wish to dual boot the box. The
install seems to go smoothly. I set up the Linux native and swap partitions,
choose the packages to install. Everything is fine until it is time to
reboot. I get the Ram Check, EZ Bios runs and then I just get "LI" and the
box freezes up. Now I can not get at the Win95. Is Linux compatible with
EZ Bios? Is there something else I am missing?
TIA
Andrew Bradley
