<DaRkSiDe> Hey guyz
<DaRkSiDe> I was about to install Red Hat 5.2 but I came to a big hurdle..
<playskool> hello dark
<mithro> my is likt /opt/pgcc/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
<playskool> darkside... whut was that?
<DaRkSiDe> I booted up my PC with a bootdisk
<william> k, thx, cya
<DaRkSiDe> and started FIPS
*** william (tony6 at max5w-43.matnet.com) has left #linuxhelp
<DaRkSiDe> but when it came to start up
<DaRkSiDe> it came up with a message about physical part of the drive..
<DaRkSiDe> and I can only make a 283mb partition
<scoota> its 0020 time for sleep
*** scoota has quit IRC (over the hills and far far away)
<playskool> how big is your hd?
<DaRkSiDe> when I have a 3.8 GB HDD with 1.4 GB left...
<playskool> not big enough
<DaRkSiDe> i only wanna use 800mb for red hat
<DaRkSiDe> and 200 for the swap file..
<playskool> I don't think at least...
<playskool> I'm prolly wrong
<DaRkSiDe> I'm going by the Linux Pocketbook
<playskool> I'm using 3 gigs for mine alone...
<DaRkSiDe> k..
* sparhawk has a total of 11.4GB of HD space
<sparhawk> 10.2GB disk+1.2GB disk
<DaRkSiDe> it won't let me start till Cylinder 830 or there abouts..
<DaRkSiDe> I can't make it start earlier..
<mithro> Darside did you optimise the disk?
<DaRkSiDe> how?
<DaRkSiDe> I defragged
<playskool> dark...  I don't know man...  I suck with linux so I can't give
ya the answer..
<DaRkSiDe> and scan disked it..
<mithro> with the micosoft optimiser in win 95...
<DaRkSiDe> where can i find that?
<mithro> or norton speed disk
<mithro> do you have win95?
<DaRkSiDe> yes..
*** Just (user8767 at surf21-14.pha.adelphia.net) has joined #linuxhelp
<mithro> in the system tools folder in the start menu
<DaRkSiDe> It's got Disk Defragmenter...
