Ello. I plan on putting DSL onto my old Win95 computer (P75mhz, 64mb Ram, 500mb + 10gb Harddrive), and I've had a good play around with DSL from the CD (but not on that computer..), and I think it'd probably be a better OS to use than Win95.
So, basically to do a HD install, I need to push a button when DSL first starts (one of the F buttons?) and then I'd have to do the partitioning? Does anyone have a good tutorial or something for doing this?
Basically the 500mb is the Primary drive and the 10gb is the secondary, so I was kinda hoping to just install to the 10gb and use the 500mb for storage or something. Win95 is on the 500mb at the moment, so once I get DSL installed could I just delete the contents of the 500mb? And what about Lilo picking that up during the install, can I just choose for it to forget that it exists.
Finally, the 10gb is partitioned into 2gb partitions. Will I have any trouble with that?
Sorry, little bit nervous with this computer, last time I tried to reinstall 95 the computer never came back.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Would it be possible to just format one of the 2gb partitions as Ext2 and install it to that? It'd probably be the easiest solution. :yes:
