Re: How to install Redhat 9 ?

[yfs us <yfs_168us yahoo com>]

Hi  NfoCipher,

    Thanks 4 your reply.

    According to you during installation the Redhat
able to delete the fat32
file system partition and convert it
to Linux file system partition right. My NTFS
partition is C: drive and
FAT32 partition is D: and during the
Redhat 9 installation it detect my drive as /dev/hda1
- ntfs & /dev/hda2 -
vfat.
   But there is an error message saying that Redhat
can't find the root
directory '/' and linux file system. Any idea ?
My /dev/hda2 is empty and I want redhat to be install
there. How do I create
a root directory ? What is a root
directory ? Is it means a empty directory ?
All help r welcome.

Cheers,
Sword Raider
