Thanks laeuchli, I've managed to install Linux on my PC already but now I face another problem.<br />
<br />
When the installater asked me to select the monitor resolution, I chose 640X480 but only much later when I started X Window then I realised that the screen resolution should be 800X600.<br />
<br />
How do I go about changing the monitor resolution without reinstalling the entire OS ?<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have been reading up on the methods for installing Linux but am somehow confused over something.<br />
<br />
You see, I have a 6 GB harddisk with 2 partitions on it. I allocated 4GB for Win95(my current OS) and 2GB for installing Linux(test OS). <br />
<br />
Under this scenerio, how do I install Linux into the 2 GB partition without destroying the current OS and data? <br />
<br />
Other than that, when I tried installing Linux, I got stuck at the part where I was asked to enter the mount point. What should I enter here if I am the sole user of the Linux OS ?<br />
And what should I do if another user wants to learn/use Linux ? Do I have to reinstall Linux again ?<br />
<br />
I thank you for your time to read this, it may sound simple for you but it sure is giving me a headache.<br />
<br />

Installation of Linux (Partition ready)

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
