After you have resized your existing partitions to make space for Linux,
|
|
you are ready to install the software. Here is a brief overview of the
|
|
procedure:
|
|
<UL><LI> Boot the Linux installation media;
|
|
<LI> Run <tt>fdisk</tt> under Linux to create Linux partitions;
|
|
<LI> Run <tt>mke2fs</tt> and <tt>mkswap</tt> to create Linux filesystems and
|
|
swap space;
|
|
<LI> Install the Linux software;
|
|
<LI> Finally, either install the <tt>LILO</tt> boot loader on your hard drive,
|
|
or create a boot floppy in order to boot your new Linux system.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
As we have said, one (or more) of these steps may be automated for you
|
|
by the installation procedure, depending on the distribution of Linux
|
|
which you are using.
|
|
Please consult the
|
|
documentation for your distribution for specific instructions.
