HI, All: I downloaded and burned 4 CDs from http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html. Then I tried to install Linux to my WinXP desktop machine. I have 10GB on this machine which is pre-allocated for Linux before I install the WinXP. Windows cannot see this 10GB. I have been frustrated with installation. I have installed several times. But each time when I restart, I enter in Windows. I cannot see any trace of Linux. I have some questions on the installation. The automatic partition does not work. And I had to use manual partition. Since I have that 10GB. I just chose it and mount it as "\" (root). Since a root is required. I cannot partition the suggested swap disk. It just does not work for me. I don't know what format I should format the disk. But the only one working is "ext3". Another question is how to set the double boot mode? It seems in the installation I set up this. But it just does not work at all. Finally it said the installation is complete and I can reboot. But I am entered to Windows again. I cannot find any documentation on the installation. Somebody told me, Redhat is good for beginners. But I still cannot follow. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much, HS
