Installing LInux

Hey, I was wondering if there is any Linux Distros that will automatically partition / set up the boot loader during hte install? I am planning on reformatting soon, so i just wanted to give it a shot, and if it doesnt work / messes anything up reformat.

LATER!

Hi,

RedHat, Mandrake, SuSe, probably have the easiest installers for your first try. They will do everything for you if you want them to.

OOPS!

I recently installed RedHat and it was a no brainer. Did everything automatically (although it did give you the option of doing it by hand.) Too easy.

SuSE 8.2, RedHat 9 and FreeBSD 4.8 all went smooth for me. It would pay to know a bit about partions in general though...Knoeleadge is Power and all that
