Could someone outline the possibilities please. Problem as below :- I have a 17Gb HDD. First 5 GB dedicated to Redhat 6.1 and runs an ax25 system for a DX cluster and ax25 node system. Want to try Redhat 7.2 - Tried a second install by creating a new 5GB partition. First time it did install, subsequent times it stops after 400 mb. However , the plan was to install this later version and run it from the existing Lilo. After ( successfully) installing 7.2 and running from a floppy , shut down 7.2 , booted 6.1 to include info into lilo.conf , run lilo but of course it cannot find files on an unmounted system (7.2). Questions are :- How to run a second version selectable from Lilo ? and are there still problems with installing between 5 and 10 GB down a hdd ?. I thought this 1023 cylinder thing had been overcome long ago. - Regards Colin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
