Hi
I am installing redhat 7.3 once my 3 iso downloads finish:D
Probably by the time I wake up:)
Anyhow heres the scenario:D
4GB H/D with ME running FAT fs.I think after the all the iso are downloaded I will have about 2 gb left free space which I will convert to ex2 in partition magic.
Im installing of the FAT Partition were the iso's will be,created bootdisk using rawrite already.
In Redhat I will choose automatic partition and choose delete existing Linux partitions which should give me 2gb space to install Redhat 7.3 server....my query is how do i get this install to fit,im going to use it as a router/firewall but am not good with Linux so I will need a graphical interface....
2 questions:)
Which is smaller in size,KDE or Gnome...and do I need x window system and classic x window system? or can I choose 1,please recomend:D
Im gonna skip print support,laptop support,sound and media and choose only 1,kde or gnome,plus only one of the x windows.
Will the 2 GB be enough?
 
I would have thought 2gb should be enough. Ask the question in the Linux (client/desktop) forum here at tek-tips. Have fun :) Mike
