Re: Installation of Redhat without a sighted assistance

[Janina Sajka <janina afb net>]

Dave, RH6 saw my FAT32 volumes without problems. I had two when I
installed, one primary, and one extended/logical. Also, mcopy read and
wrote FAT32 without a hitch for me, and I was able to mount my
logical/extended FAT32 without a problem. As a matter of fact, I installed
from FAT32. I do not have a CD ROM drive on my IBM Thinkpad. So, I copied
the RH CD to C:\RH6 using Windows 98 networking (Netbeui). I rebooted from
the RH install floppy, pointed RH at this directory, and everything went
fine from there.

So, I had lots of problems, ;but not with FAT32.
