From: ucosmo@mcl.ucsb.edu (Boris Burtin) Subject: More DOS partition questions... Date: 29 Sep 1992 18:21:51 GMT
Ok. I've read the FAQs and install notes. There are several things that I
would like to get cleared up regarding my existing DOS partition.
First, _which_ fdisk should I use? Some of the notes say "use the DOS fdisk."
Others say "use the linux fdisk." Should I repartition the disk before
installing linux from the boot disk, or does it happen during the installation?
Next, given that I figure out this partitioning stuff, should I compress/
optimize my DOS partition before installing linux?
Finally, does LILO get installed with linux, or is it a separate package?
Note that I will be attempting to install the mcc-interim package from tcx.
Thanks in advance,
