I wan to set up a dual boot, but i do not know what iso files to download. I went o RH site adn went to download RH9 but saw six files...which do i download???

Posted by: soundgarden

ok, now that i downloaded the iso files, burned them to cd's, now what.

I guess i have to set up bios to boot from cd, then install on a partition. ONe problem, i dont have a spare partition and no way in **** am i goona use fdisk and destroy all the stuff on drive already.

Can someone please point me to a FREE, [b] Safe[/b], partitioning software that is not destrucitve.

Also after i install the os on the new partition, exactly how do i set up the boot process so i can choose which os to load.

THank you...

while you're installing, the installer will ask you to setup a partition automatically and where it can borrow free space from. just let it do the job and you won't lose anything. unless of course you know how to work with partitions.

If you do want to know how to work with partitions, PartitionMagic seems to be the industry standard. Google it and you'll come up with something.
