Re: linux reference
If you coose to use RH 9, pls note that you may have problems getting the up2date patching utility working, throwing a cryptic error msg. This is because a root sertificate expired sometime in 2003. If so, you have to upgrade the root sertificate manually.
Also, you may have problems with some Intel/Compaq network cards - you may need to upgrade the drivers before you get online.

Re: linux reference
Thanks for you feedback.
I try to download the doc for Fedora Core 4 Installation Guide (at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/) but there is not PDF or html format. It is very hard for me to read thru internet. Where I can get the copy for this file in PDF format?
regards.

http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/
If you use an ordinary PC which has been able to run Windows, you should propably select the i386 downloads. This is the most common architecture. The x86_64 is for 64 bit architectures and ppc is for Mac Power PC.
Download the four(!) ISO images named
FC4-i386-disc1.iso
FC4-i386-disc2.iso
FC4-i386-disc3.iso
FC4-i386-disc4.iso
and burn them to CD's. If you are using win XP, you can use isorecorder to burn it
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
When you have burned the CD's just drop the first CD in the station and restart the machine.

Re: linux reference
1) During the Redhat linux 9 installation, what is the required partition that need to hv? According to the user guide, swap, / and /boot is the compulsory. How about the others like /tmp, /home, /opt, /usr, /var and etc?
2) Hv 2 options to choose during the installation process for partioning. Automatic and manual (with disk druid). What is the partition that will be created if choosing automatic? Only swap, / and /boot?
3) For the boot loader, basically hv 2 which are GNUB (default) and LILO? What is the main different between these 2 boot loaders?
regards.

Re: linux reference
The size of the swap partition will typically be double the size of the amount of RAM in your machine. So unless you run very spesific programs like high load database server, and you have 256MB RAM on your box, you make a 500-600MB swap partition.

Re: linux reference
Or if you are really interested, here is a document describing the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html
It is an interesting read even for seasoned admins. Especially note the /opt filesystem which is not installed by default on most linux systems, but is a very interesting alternative to /usr/local.

Re: linux reference
1) After linux installation completed, can I create/mount other file system like /tmp, /usr, /opt and etc if I only create / and swap space during the installation?
2) Existing I hv a hard disk with 2 partitions. The 1st partition is for windows XP and 2nd partition is the free space (unpartioned) reserved for linux installation. I think the cylinder point for 2nd partition is start from 709 - 3000. According to the user guide, some older bios cannot detect the 1st 1024 cylider of the hard disk. For my case, do I need to leave the cylinder point from 709 - 1733 for file system /boot?
regards.

Re: linux reference
In HP-UX, we can run command 'bdf' to check the file system utilization. How about in Linux?
