Red Hat Linux 5.2 Installation and Configuration 5 Note: The AP400 and AP500 SCSI probe automatically finds the NCR 53C8xx PCI adapter. The SP700 SCSI probe does not identify any SCSI devices so you must answer: Do you have any SCSI adapters? Yes When prompted to load a SCSI module: Select NCR 53C8xx PCI Class-Based Installation Path The Workstation and Server Installation Path installs a pre-configured disk partitioning scheme. If the Workstation or Server Installation Path is chosen, the RedHat Linux Installation program prompts the user twice that disk data will be lost, then creates a new file system with three or more partitions. After automatically partitioning the drive, the installation program automatically formats the newly created partitions and proceeds to install packages. Jump ahead to "Finishing the Installation." Important Note: Workstation or Server Installation Path ignores any Compaq System Partitions! The installation program removes any Linux partitions found on the drive(s) and recreates a filesystem, then installs the Linux Loader (LILO) into the boot sector of the primary drive. Custom Installation Path The Custom Installation Path gives the user complete control of creating the Linux filesystem partitions formatting, and software package selection. Users who wish to create custom filesystem configurations or to preserve a previous configuration should choose Custom Installation. Disk Partitioning The Red Hat Linux GUI offers the user a choice of either the disk partitioning utility, Disk Druid, or the fdisk utility. Disk Druid displays a table representing the: • Disk partitions • Amount of disk used and amount available • Partition type (Linux Native, Linux Swap, etc.) • Mount points (i.e. /, /home /usr/local, etc.) Disk Druid permits the user to add, edit, or delete partitions. In addition, Disk Druid permits the user to designate certain partitions as "growable," in which the partition is initially created as a certain size, but is permitted to "grow" in size as needed.

Red Hat Linux 5.2 Installation and Configuration

Note:
The AP400 and AP500 SCSI probe automatically finds the NCR 53C8xx PCI adapter.
The SP700 SCSI probe does not identify any SCSI devices so you must answer:
Do you have any SCSI adapters?
Yes
When prompted to load a SCSI module:
Select NCR 53C8xx PCI
Class-Based Installation Path
The Workstation and Server Installation Path installs a pre-configured disk partitioning
scheme.
If the Workstation or Server Installation Path is chosen, the RedHat Linux
Installation program prompts the user twice that disk data will be lost, then creates a new file
system with three or more partitions.
After automatically partitioning the drive, the
installation program automatically formats the newly created partitions and proceeds to install
packages.
Jump ahead to “Finishing the Installation.”
Important Note:
Workstation or Server Installation Path ignores any Compaq System
Partitions!
The installation program removes any Linux partitions found on the drive(s) and
recreates a filesystem, then installs the Linux Loader (LILO) into the boot sector of the
primary drive.
Custom Installation Path
The Custom Installation Path gives the user complete control of creating the Linux filesystem
partitions formatting, and software package selection.
Users who wish to create custom
filesystem configurations or to preserve a previous configuration should choose Custom
Installation.
Disk Partitioning
The Red Hat Linux GUI offers the user a choice of either the disk partitioning utility, Disk
Druid, or the fdisk utility. Disk Druid displays a table representing the:
•
Disk partitions
•
Amount of disk used and amount available
•
Partition type (Linux Native, Linux Swap, etc.)
•
Mount points (i.e. /, /home /usr/local, etc.)
Disk Druid permits the user to add, edit, or delete partitions.
In addition,
Disk Druid permits
the user to designate certain partitions as “growable,” in which the partition is initially created
as a certain size, but is permitted to “grow” in size as needed.
