Hi! I just joined this list because of my interest in, and my desire to
learn, Linux, most likely Redhat. At this time, my family's computer does
not have hard drive space for me to install Linux on the hard drive.
But, for personal educational purposes only, would it be possible for me to
install Redhat on a SyQuest SparQ 1Gb disk? Most of the time, the system
would need to boot to Windows 95, because that's what everyone else in the
family prefers. Clearing off space on the hard drive isn't a possibility at
this point; neither is a second physical drive, or another machine altogether.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried something like this, or knows
whether or not it will work, and whether it's advisable or not.
I don't know what other information you'd need to make a guess about this,
so here's all information I can think of:
90 Mhz Pentium
1.1 Gig hard drive (mostly full) --compressed with DriveSpace3
64 Meg RAM
Windows 95
hard drive is not partitioned (though the CDs I was given have a utility to
do this without formatting the drive)
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly valued! If you know of useful
URLs, books, etc, please let me know. Thank you!
