format to linux native?
hi again all,
i am still trying to get my old win95 pc to become a unix/linux pc, running with redhat.
i managed to install it on my old win32/fat partition (which is the whole hdd), but when i did this it said it may result in lower operating speed, but i couldn't manage to create a linux native partition as whenever i did the next button would become unavailable.
ok, so i went back to dos from my win95 boot disk with a couple of dos commands on it and deltree'd the whole hdd and then ran fdisk and chose not to make it large or whatever it was.
now it says that my hdd has no label and it won't go through the install.
what do i need to do to get redhat running on my 'puter as a linux native machine?
i dont care if it deletes anything on the hdd as i dont need any of it.
thanks in advance
gan
