What do you get back when you try to use it? I suspect you're not doing it as the root user, or that you just did a "su" rather than "su -" and don't have the full root environment. > 2) is it bad that I did not set up a swap, and if so is there a way I > can set it up in Linux after installation Seeing as you're still partitioning, you can make a swap partition and add it to your fstab file. Read "man mkswap" for starters. An alternative is a swap file, but I think a swap partition is still better. > 3) I have 150 gigs of un-partitioned space on my hard drive how do I > partition it in Fedora so I can write to it from both linux and win2k > if that is even possible They can both read FAT, and it's probably the easiest middle ground between them, but it doesn't support individual file ownership. Fedora can read NTFS, but I don't know how well it works at read and write. There are add-ons for Windows that allow it to read Linux's EXT3 file systems. You need to work out what's most important to you. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
