Installing Red Hat Linux 5.2 Web Server

NOTE This step assumes there is no utility partition on your NetServer.

NOTE The cylinders on your hard disk may be different from this

example.

n <Enter>, p <Enter>, 2 <Enter>

First cylinder: 981

Last cylinder: 1008

NOTE Administrators with a basic knowledge of disk data storage may

want to decide their own usage.

6. To check partitions—"Command (m for help) . . ."

p <Enter>

NOTE Both partitions will be "Linux Native" type at this point. No

asterisk will be evident in the "Boot" column yet.

7. To designate one of the partitions as swap space—"Command (m for

help) . . ."

t <Enter>, 2 <Enter>, 82 <Enter>

8. To toggle a bootable flag—"Command (m for help) . . ."

a <Enter>, 1 <Enter>

9. To check partitions—"Command (m for help) . . ."

p <Enter>

CAUTION If you do not place a bootable flag on the main Linux Native

partition (where the OS is installed) at this point, it may later be

impossible for Linux to boot up from the hard disk. In that case,

you may have to start the installation over.

10. If you determine everything to be correct—"Command (m for help) . . ."

w <Enter>

You might see messages about the disk partition table.

Once you have written the configuration to disk, return to the section on "Continuing the Linux

Installation".
