Thank you, Lenard, for the links.

How is it that you have PCs with RHEL but no disks? I thought that Windows PCs were the only ones with this annoyance. If you don't have the licenses for RHEL, then it is not going to be very useful to you.

This a new PC from India's biggest PC vendor HCL Ltd.
Damned, if I know why they didn't provide the RHEL CDs.
I've paid for the stuff, and I'm going to make them cough up the CDs.
And, after visiting this site, I see that RHEL 4.0 is outdated!!!
The PC is less than 10 days old, and bears a stamp of Sept. 2007.
It almost seems like they want us to kill the preloaded Linux.

You have several choices:
use a virtual machine such as VMware
Get RHEL CDs and re-partition the drive
Get Centos (free clone of RHEL)
Install another harddrive

I have downloaded VMWare, but haven't figured out how to use it yet. Do I need the Linux Cd for that ?
Which version of Centos should I download ? 4.0,..,4.5,..5.0 ?
Installing another HD will be a problem (I think) because the PC is under a 3 yrs warranty, and I can open up the case.
But I will try to get the Vendor to add a HDD.
