Installing Red Hat 7.1 Linux
For this “Quick Setup” guide we will be using the Red Hat 7.1 Linux CD-ROM. Normally, when
doing server installations you do not need to install X window (or the GUI interface), but for the
purposes of this document we will be configuring the X window system.
We will also use the Automatic Partitioning available in Red Hat 7.1. These partitions will be
automatically created. If you would like additional information on partitioning your hard drive is
available at, http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto
or you can review the Red Hat 7.1 Linux
documentation.
