Fc5

[24giovanni]

Hi, I am looking to d/l FC5 and I am curious what I have to D/L. Do I D/L I386, x86 64 or PPC or all three. Can someone please help me out with this.

Thanks

what are your computers specs?

 

[horndude]

i386=intel x86 architecture
PPC=Apple power PC architecture
x86 64= 64 bit intel architecture

pick the one that matches your CPU architecture

My computer is a HP vectra pl intel p3. Would I d/l i386 then only?

 

[Juice Daddy]

yes

IF I want to delete rh 8.0 off of my computer without disturbing server 2000 on same computer how do I delete the partition currently using RH 8.0 please? I am fairly new to linux so I need simple way of doing this. I may need help with the commands to do it. I appreciate any help.

I did a fdisk -l and received the following which lists device, boot, start, end, blocks, ID and system. Below those titles listed is

/dev/hda1 * 1 406 3069328+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 407 420 15840 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 421 807 2925720 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 808 833 196560 5 extended
/dev/hda5 808 833 196528+ 82 Linux swap

Is this what I need to delete? If so, how do I do it please?
