Linux RedHat 7.1 on Windows XP Home SP-2

I just got PartitionMagic 8, and resized my Windows XP partition to make
a new partition that is only 7GigaBytes. And I'm going to get the
installation disk from my library, and I remembered before I keept getting
an error saying that "/root" is not right for the root thingy. I need to
know a name to put in when I select the partition and it needs a label, or
name.

Sorry, I don't really remember that it said. Just exactly what I should
do numbered in steps (1), 2)).

PS: PartitionMagic 8 Full, not trial

 

Further proof that linux makes you stupid.

Linux makes you stupid? Your the one that's stupid, I didn't ask for you to
tell me linux is stupid I asked for instructions on how to get give it a
name or something.

 

Full, not trial

Without even looking, I know you're talking with K-Mammy-Nasty aka K-Man
that has many names she'll post by. But it's the same old babbel out of
her. You should <plonk> that HO.

You may need to try a Linux NG if you don't get your answer.

I think you need to explain the error in more detail. If that means you
have to generate the error again then that's what you have to do.

If you don't understand the *nix file structure and the basics of how
it's implimented check out something like:
http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/. I bet that will clear up a lot of
your confusion.

 

You know what, I looked over some of my previous posts because this
seemed familiar and I found that I already explained the root filesystem
to you on 11/3/2005.

You know what, if you can't be bothered to read the info you're never
ever going to know what the hell is going on in Linux. Using Linux
requires a lot of reading and self-study, way more than Windows. If
you're not willing to do that then just stop, throw away your Linux CD,
and go do something else.

 

Come on then dipshite if its that easy post a how to .
Hello ?
heloo ?
I thought not.

 

Your susposed to help people in this group, not call Linux stupid becuase
your a Windows/Mac lover.

Stay out of these messages then

 

Newsgroups used to be so kind, but know there fill with nothing but sewer
rats.

 

How would you know? You are probably not much more that 14 -15 years
old.

RTFM__

The HO uses Linux too she is just messing with you.

I know what newsgroups used to be in 1990, (15 years ago)They would actaully
answer your question directly and stop bugging people who are new to the
Linux OS

(PS: I think you have no idea what your doing, with anything)

(PPS: I'm sorry, I broke the jar that had your brain in it

 

Twue, twue.

Then educate me, I don't really think anything you said at ALL in this
entire tree of posts helped me, maybe I'll just add you in the ignore list
in my spam blocker.

 

<sigh>

Please restate your problem; I really did not understand the original
post. I do understand that you resized partitions, but that is about
all. What/exactly/does/not/work?

I will help you if you can be a bit more lucid.

As far as the plonking goes, I will not even know, nor will I care.

I took someone's advice (no sure who) to switch to a better distrobution, I
realize that Linux RedHat 7.1 is old and I decided to go with Ubuntu Linux
5.10

http://www.ubuntulinux.com/

It is the latest release and I ordered a free CD with free shipping. I don't
think I'll have any problem in stalling this new version of Ubuntu

-Thank you all for your help

 

"stall"??? A program???
