hi i was going to give up on linux since i had trouble burning and booting...but now thats all done and i got collage linux to work and i urgently deleted winXP and started to install...meanwhile i was guided with an installation on collagelinux.org and they are installing with Windows as a partion and i dont want that!!

i also heard its very same as slackware so anyone expert on either this or slack then what partions DO i need??? ive got 20gb space and i have formatted my cpu so its all whiped and cleaned !!
PS:there is a menu popping up after keybord setting with 4 options:

Help thingy
Partions
Install
Quit

help thingy is just a thing that says "PRESS PARTION OR F**K OFF!" so i press partions and it starts to scan and found a 0:/dev/hda so i press 0 and cfdisk 2.12 and i can see no more then

Heads: 255 Sectors per track: 63 Cylinders: 2432

Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size(MB)
Pri/Log Free space 20003.89

well now i figured out i need a NEW PARTION but it seems i need more then just 1 so plz share knowledge!!! im so closed getting linux after months

Try install it might set up the partitions,those thingys,for you,otherwise you will need how to use fdisk or cfdisk,good luck david

sirpimsalot after reading that twice from up to down even taking notes it does not tell me how i make full installation on 20gb...allthou that page is thery handy so thx thou

You only need two partitions, a swap partition and a root partition. Other partitions are optional. Use cfdisk to partition your hard disk before you start (it's on the College CD - very handy to be able to partition your hard drive with a bootable CD).

ill try that thx all!!
