Hi, I'm wanting to install linux on a second harddrive on my win95 machine with out using lilo on the MBR as I want to take the second HDD out once I return home, so reading through the howto it says to use loadlin, so I grab the file from sunsite and it's tared as well as gziped. Now, considering that I don't have a running linux system, just how does one go about unziping and untarring the file to check possilbe readme's or documentation before going ahead with the linux install. I would have thought that loadlin (being for dos) would be zipped only? So having found this out, should I just go ahead and install Linux to this second hdd and how do I get a running linux to untar this file to allow me to boot linux from dos? :) Pete -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
