Are you planning to have a dual boot system? (FC5/Windows) If you are, I suggest you install Windows first, then install FC5 afterwards. Linux distros usually have an OS autodetection software as part of the installation process. Before booting up to the distro, it detects if the PC has previously installed OS aside from the one being installed. Then it installs and configures boot loaders (usually GRUB or LILO), to be installed to the MBR to be initialized first prior to booting. It's kinda similar to the menu that appears when you press F8 on a Windows startup screen. Hope I provided u some help. Good Luck!!!

So you have already installed windows? Now all you have to do is boot your FC5 cd, and follow the instructions for installing the system. Choose which boot loader to install (GRUB or LILO). If you want to resize the partitions as (30 fat32, 40 ntfs , 20 ext2 , 30 as free), you can do so in Windows, since you have that installed already. Use a third party partition manager like PartitionMagic. WARNING: Resizing a partition containing data may result in data loss or corruption. Back-up your data first before resizing
This has probably been answered here before many times, but ...
Code:
find / -name "abc.txt"
will search everything under the root directory '/' for a file with the name 'abc.txt'. The wildcard character is "*". Remember to use quotes around the filename if you use "*".
Just wondering suppose you have linux already installed & now you get a new disk so that your computer has two disks. How do you go about partitioning/slicing the new disk in linux ? which utility do you use ?

Hello ,
I'm trying to split a file which contains a single very long line.
My aim is to split this single line each 120 characters.
I tried with the sed command :
`cat ${MYPATH}/${FILE}|sed -e :a -e 's/^.\{1,120\}$/&\n/;ta' >{MYPATH}/${DEST}`
but when I wc -l the destination file it is... (2 Replies)
