What windows progs can i run in linux.
Is it possible to install windows after a linux install.
How do I partition In linux?
thanks for the answers

it's not possible to run anything across the two platforms. you'd need to use wine, a free compatability layer (emulator to most people) or commercial optinos like win4lin and vmware. search the net for more infor on them.

you can partition using a bunch of different things. in redhat, it's normally diskdruid, althoguht there's fdisk, cfdisk and a load fo others

you should always install windows first and then linux, but as long as you make a boot disk you can install windows at a later date no problem. as long as you put it in a primary partition of course.

You cann't run any windows programs.
with out someting vmware, wine or lin2win..

I guess you missed my point about meanfull "subjects"

By the way have you read the howto yet:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html

That should be you next project.

The wine website http://www.winehq.com links to a database of Wine compatable applications. I much prefer to find Linux native applications that do the same job.

Yes

cfdisk
fdisk
probably quite a few other options

Rights thats great help.
I've got all my partitions setup and linux installed but I can't get to it my comp boots straight to windows.
Can I access fdisk from linux so I just change the acctive boot partition? To change the os that it boots to?
Finally how do I get to fdisk in linux.

Thanx for the help

Type fdisk followed by the hard drive you want to fdisk.. like

fdisk /dev/hda
