Re: Comming back to linux.

Hi, Nectarios!
As far as I remember, the server installation will erase all the hard drives
regardless if there are any other operating systems. Also, if you will use
sighted assistance, I suggest you first briefly look through the
installation guide, which is on the CD in /doc/rhmanual/
It will really clear some concepts and tell you exactly what to expect and
which places. The manual even has diagrams so you can show them to your
helpers.
Regards and good luck.
Victor
