Re: Upgrading to 7.1, need help with partitioning

["\"Thursday\" AKA dr. john" <thursday allidaho com>]

Dear Allen,

That wouold be with a regular installation.  You really should get your
GUI during install.  Maybe there's a junk video card lying around that
will do the job.  There should be a away into the partitioning utility
in text mode if that's all you can get.

For RedHat 7.1 RH recommends the first partion is /boot, should be 39
megs  ext2

2nd partition is 996 megs, swap,

all the rest of the disk is root partition and filesystem.
That's what I put in on my PWS500a and it works OK.

Chances are any change to your partition scheme is gonna rip everything
out, so if you have to repartition you might as well do a clean install.

good luck
