Hi guys,

Just got Redhat Linux 6.1, I've got only one partition on my 2.4GB HDD

Do I have to remove all partitions (I want to dual boot with win98se if poss)

Im not that bothered if there's not much disk space left afterwards because it will only be for messing around with (I'll probably get rid of it and keep reinstalling it after a while.)

So could somebody please (although I have the manual), please tell me exactly what I need to do to install it (It's on 2 CD ROMs.)

My BIOS can boot from CD so that's not a problem, do i need to wipe my windows partition and let linux installer make on for me or will it wipe it anyway
??

Should I install Linux or Windows first ?(if I have to remove Windows)

Thanks,

Jim
