Dear All,

Hello! Hope all is clicking good!
I have not done this in a while as it's lately been a Windows world for me.

I have Windows 2000,Windows XP installed. I wish to add Red Hat 8 to my system. Think it was done by following this article here:
Basicaly letting GRUB do all the work w/o modifying any files...

Am I on the way to nirvana by following this article? or should I add something else to it?

Thanks to all!

Angel
 
The article looks fine, but if you already have two win installations, you're obvously going to have different partitions to what is shown in the example.
Are you putting them all on one drive? Do you already have space on a drive for installing RedHat?

I had a bit of a difficult experience with RedHat 8.0, if you can I would recommend getting Fedora, it did a much better job of identifying the hardware on my machine.
I have XP and Fedora Core 1 on one drive, with a removable drive for messing about with. Grub handles everything.
