Installing Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional
1. Power on the server, and insert the Red Hat Linux 8.0 Professional Installation CD
in the CD tray to start the installation.

The amount of swap space required also varies depending on the amount of RAM in
the system.
The following partitioning scheme is given as an example.
9. Create a boot partition.
A. Click on the free space under Device.
B. Click New
Note: If you double-click on the free space, instead of clicking on New, a
different "add partition" screen will come up, with different options. In this
screen, you must specify the Start and Ending Cylinders of the partition you are
creating, instead of specifying the size of the partition.
C. Set the parameters as follows:
Partition type: Ext3
Allowable drives: sda (If you have multiple drives available)
Mount point: /boot Size:75
2
NOTE: Click on the other drives to deselect them.
Additional Size Options:
You will have the opportunity to choose the following additional options:
- Fixed Size (MB)
- Fill all space up to (MB)
- Fill to maximum allowable size
- Leave at fixed size
- Force to be a primary partition
- Check for Bad Blocks
Leave the above items unchecked, unless you want to check for bad blocks. If you
choose this option, be aware that the check will take a considerable amount of
time, depending on drive size.
D. Click OK.

11. Create a root partition.
A. Click New.
B. Set the parameters as follows:
Mount point: /Size:2048

you will need to increase the size of the / partition to at least that amount. If you
wish, you may choose to allow the partition to fill to a particular size (which you
specify), or to the maximum allowable size.
Partition type: Ext3 Allowable drives: sda
NOTE: Click on the other drives to deselect them.
