I'm a new Linux user and just downloaded Fedora Core 3. I was planning on running a dual-boot configuration with WinXP Home Edition. My computer has a C: partition (72GB) and a D: partition (4.66GB). It is a Compaq and the D: partition is used as a system recovery partition. I am more than experienced in a Microsoft environment and was wondering if my current configuration would cause any problems when I begin to install Fedora. What I really want to know is if I should create a 10GB partition in DOS then install Fedora and direct the installer to use the 10GB partition or should I let the Fedora installer create my partitions? I know I will need a /root partition and a Linux swap partition. Any help would be appreciated as I am new to Linux. Also, anyone used Fedora with VMware? I see that Red Hat 7.0-9.0 is compatible with VMware, as well as RHEL AS/ES/WS 4.0 (32-bit), RHEL AS/ES/WS 2.1, 3.0, and RHEL Advanced Server 2.1. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
