Re: Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?

I have Pentium II Processor with 64 MB RAM. The drive which I am thinking of converting into Lihnux (F:) has 2.92 GB hard disk space. Current file system is FAT 32. I am thinking of loading Red Hat Linux (may be latest version) and Appache web server by formating that drive. I know I can have appache on Windows, but as my client's environment is different and as I have urge to learn Linux I want to install Linux on my m/c itself. Whether above mentioned hardware is ok to install Linux ? manisha At 08:58 PM 4/24/01 -0500, Wade DeWerff wrote:

its much more than that however, I have Linux, 98, win2k and NT server on my box..which has 2 physical hard drives and 5-6 partitions. However I strongly suggest you read up on this subject of multi-boot. You have to take into consideration that most operating systems require up to the first 4-8 mg of the hard drive and the boot files for NT OS's require to be on the first physical hard drive at the first 2mg. Keep in mind also that LILO, the Linux booting file cannot exist on same partition with any NT OS's. It appears you only have 95 at this time so it wont be quite as complicated at this time. You will have to get a boot manager that will handle partitioning different partition types-NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, LINUX. One that will partition these without messing up the others that you have already. -----Original Message----- From: Jack Dempsey <dempsejn@georgetown.edu> To: Manisha <manisha@aurica.com> Cc: php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 8:43 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ? Yes, that's the idea behind having multiple drives ( or partitions ). If you format F and load Linux on it, then that won't affect any other partition... -jack Manisha wrote:

Hi all, I am having my own personal computer running on windows 95. I have C / D

E / F / G drives with FAT 32 file system with lot of information on it. I can format one drive out of these. Can I install Linux on it ? (i.e. format F:\ and load Linux). Later on I want to load Apache also on it. Is it feasible ? Any information about this on web ? If I format one

and load Linux whether other drive info will get affected ? manisha -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
