Installing Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional

8. Disk partitioning will vary depending on the type of services the server will provide.

The amount of swap space required also varies depending on the amount of RAM in

the system.

The following partitioning scheme is given as an example.

9. Create a boot partition.

A. Click on the free space under Device.

B. Click New

Note: If you double-click on the free space, instead of clicking on New, a

different "add partition" screen will come up, with different options. In this

screen, you must specify the Start and Ending Cylinders of the partition you are

creating, instead of specifying the size of the partition.

C. Set the parameters as follows:

Partition type: Ext3

Allowable drives: sda (If you have multiple drives available)

Mount point: /boot Size:75

NOTE: Click on the other drives to deselect them.

Additional Size Options:

You will have the opportunity to choose the following additional options:

- Fixed Size (MB)

- Fill all space up to (MB)

- Fill to maximum allowable size

- Leave at fixed size

- Force to be a primary partition

- Check for Bad Blocks

Leave the above items unchecked, unless you want to check for bad blocks. If you

choose this option, be aware that the check will take a considerable amount of

time, depending on drive size.

11. Create a root partition.

A. Click New.

B. Set the parameters as follows:

Mount point: /Size:2048

you will need to increase the size of the / partition to at least that amount. If you

wish, you may choose to allow the partition to fill to a particular size (which you

specify), or to the maximum allowable size.

Partition type: Ext3 Allowable drives: sda

NOTE: Click on the other drives to deselect them.

C. Click OK. Click Next.

12. At the boot loader configuration screen, you need to accomplish the following

will be shown.

23. (Optional) After the package installation process, if you have installed the X Window

System, you will have to configure your video hardware.

A. The first step is to select the video card. The installer should have already probed

the card. Verify that the correct card was identified with the proper amount of

RAM. Click Next.

B. At the Monitor Configuration screen, select your Monitor. Entering wrong

horizontal and/or vertical sync rate may damage your monitor. Please

consult your system documentation. Click Next.
