2. How do i delete an existing partition from Linux during the installation process?
3. Can you describe the different partition types in RH or Fedora?
4. Specify the partition naming scheme for the second logical parition created on the third IDE disk.
5. How can i delete a existing partition using the fdisk tool?
6. What is the standard mount point for a swap parition?
Ok those were the questions i have about hard drives, partitions etc... on linux systems... now if you can briefly help me with some networking questions...
1. How would i assign an IP Add. of 192.168.0.12to the NIC driver, eth0?
