Re: Moving from RH to FC1

IMO, Forrest's suggestion is best. Don't do anything - just boot from the Fedora CD and choose Install rather than upgrade, install it on your existing 1GB "linux" partition.

For a beginner, this is the best way to go. Even for experts, "Upgrade" often means "Break my computer".

Also if you have anything even mildly important on there, *back it up before you begin!!!*

Good luck!

A number of months ago I made my first foray into the Linux world by installing RH 9. I worked with it for a month or so and for various reasons had to abandon it.

I have retained very little of what i learned and have decided to give it another try. In the interests of work with the latest offering I am thinking about installing FC1.

I need advice on how to approach this.

On bootup I can select either Linux or Win98. My Linux installation is restricted to a single 1 GB disk drive

Should I delete the RH install and start over - if so, how should I do this?

OR

Should I run the FC1 install from RH?  How would I do this.

Should I remove the option screen presented at boot up and let the FC1 install process install a new one?? If so how do i do it?

Sorry for such basic questions but I have to start somewhere!

Thanks
Pretson
