College Linux Install help
I am a total Noob to Linux. Am trying it out of boredom. I have downloaded the CL ISO and successfully made a bootable disk. I select it from the boot menu and CL starts its install process.
To boot CL install disk press enter {enter} Gives option to load a non US keyboard {enter} College Linux installation menu options Help Partition Install Quit I go to partition, it searches and finds two Physical HD labeled. 0:/dev/hda 1:/dev/hdb I select 0 which is a 160 gb partitioned three times. Partitions on selected drives hda1 81...... win95 FAT32 LBA hda2 74...... win95 Ext'd LBA hda5 41.......win95 FAT32 hda6 33.......win95 FAT32 I assume hda 1 is my OS, hda 5 is a 41 GB partition and hda6 is my 33GB partition {enter} I get this screen and I get cold feet. CFDisk2.11q It lists hda1 boot Primary win95 fat32 (LBA) hda5 Logical win95 fat32 hda6 Logical win95 fat32 It gives options at bottom like Boot, quit, and write. I can highlight each of the above. I want Linux on hda5. If I highlight it and select write, will it ERASE the whole physical HD or just the highlighted partition. I wish there was a way to check it not just highlight it. Sry for the long post but I dont want to dump a HD Thx Begvis |
should only write to the partition you selected.
