Can anybody assist me in the installation of a non-Microsoft Operating System?

The Red Hat Linux SetUp offers the option of a GUI set up or a text based set up. Most non-Microsoft set ups don't offer this option. I am presented with a CLI screen with the command line a:%26gt; and I need to know how to proceed from there. The installation would be to the 'd' drive - 'c', 'e' and 'i' are all already occupied. The 'd' drive is currently an NTFS partition.

A gui setup is what a M$ or apple os is now. Graphical User Interface. Pick the easier GUI setup. The problem with installing any OS is that the hard drive must be low level formatted and then single or multiple partitioned(i.e. Linux OS won't load on NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, etc. formats)You can get this low level format software from the hard drive manufacturer's website. WARNING: YOU WILL PERMANENTLY LOSE ALL YOUR INFORMATION ON THE DRIVE YOU ARE LOW LEVEL FORMATTING, BACKUP ANYTHING YOU WISH TO SAVE. You must have a ready and wating open hd with nothing on it. Now I know there are alot of other ways to this answer this person's problem to make it work, this is just a quick and easy way. Or you could go to Red Hat's site and look for the installation FAQ. Or you could ask this question at a Linux discussion site; they love to help people graduate from the handcuffs of M$.
Reply:you really need to use the GUI installer, for you are too much a noob to even use the 'linux fdisk' program in CLI (Command Line Interface).





Better yet, would be that you grab a LiveCDrom of http://www.mepis.org that is Kubuntu with 1% more goodness. Installs in about 20 minutes, with the click on the "Install" icon.
