Hello. i am new to the forum and fedora too. i have been using windows for the last 10 years. now i intend to switch to LINUX. i have purchased Fedora core 4 (4 CDs). i am using Windows XP. when i try to install fedora, an error occurs. no free space.
i have two hard drives. C: & D: and they are further logically partitioned to E: and F:. my E: drive have 4 GB free space with some personal data. when i select automatically partition option, it show message, not much space.
when i use disk durid and select the hdb1. it ask to format the drive with ext3 file system. in case of format i will loose my precious data.

can anyone guide me what to do next???????????????

thanx

You must have free space to install Linux so you must, destroy one partition. You can copy the precious data on for example on CD

you might want to consider using the gparted live disk to resize your partitions, or adding another disk.

Just be warned: resizing the partitions can be dangerous, so always back up your data first!

Thanks. i have installed LINUX 9. it si working fine. but i am unable to find that how can i make dialup connection in Linux. i tried by i haven't find any clue. can anyone tell me how to connect to intenet in LINUX 9.

thanks

There's no such thing as "LINUX 9" -- do you mean Red Hat 9? If so then you really should use something more recent as Red Hat 9 is old and unsupported.

There are a number of network configuration tools ... look for something like PPP setup. I think RH 9 has GNOME PPP which is a friendly GUI config tool, but it's been so long since I used it as a desktop that I don't remember. Really, you should upgrade to something more recent as Linux gets better and better with each passing year.
