Lycoris and RH 7.2 on same partition?
I set up three DOS partitions in preparation for Linux. One has 98SE, the second is all files, and third was for Linux.
I installed Red Hat 7.2 on the third using ext3 partitioning. Can I now install Lycoris on that same partition? Also, how I can browse the files in my DOS partitions from Linux? Since I have that Files partition, that is where my pics, docs, movies and so forth are located. Thanks again ya'll. Sean. |
No you can't install Lycoris sharing the same partition as RH. They usually can share the same swap space though.
You can however browse your files from linux on a windows partition. Just mount the drive or partition they reside on and whala.. don't know how, browse the forums here, that question is asked a million times. Should be plenty of info on it for you. Got any more questions about it reply back if ya want. |
To mount the 'files' partition, as su mkdir /files
mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /files (or t- dos for fat16) Assuming we got the file system type and partition correct /files now has the contents of the second partition. Add an entry in /etc/fstab for it, the syntax is pretty straight forward. See man fstab for the exact options. You'll want to fix the permissions on /files (the mount point) to give yourself or disk rw as the group. Or use suid in fstab, but that gives EVERYONE rw. Two Linux installs on the same partition... I wouldn't do that if I were you. I'm booting any of three Linux installs, but they're on seperate partitions. |
