Hey,

I am about to install Mandrake 9.2 on my computer along with XP (new hard drive), it seems many newbies want help with us and if some one/lots of u smarter people would be able to compile (even one each) a guide to partitioning your disk for Linux as well as windows, as well as, the basics you need to know on networking and basic operation of linux. Plz consider this as it would save some time for you all i guess.

Thanks

Zed

And you still want more ?

Use ext2 with one large "\" patition and a 16MB swap partition. Never use fsck and poweroff your machine randomly without telling it when...

No wait, that's all how to do it wrong. ;-)

Newbies never read FAQs.
If there is a FAQ on the installation-medium, they don't read it.
If they buy RedHad, they will not find the RedHat-site on the web.
They straightly move to a forum (mostly the wrong one) and ask questions, without reading a FAQ and without searching in older posts, without appropriate headline - mostly they use: 'URGENT!!!! PLZ help!' or 'Question'.

That's how newbies do.
