HARD DRIVE JUST FOR UNIX
Im studying at Shellield Hallam University. I start Unix and X windows in October. I want to know whether to partition my 30 GIG hard Drive and have unix operating system working on 10 GIG of that or to have it on a completley different hard drive but on the same tower.
In regards to putting it on a hard drive, How do i install it onto the 10 GIG part of my hard drive, and are there any tutorials on how it's done.
Im not too hot on programming, ive only programmed in C++ and will be programming in unix when i start at Uni.
Thanks for your patience.
