    Hi, my computer have 7GB of HDD drive. I run windows xp pro on the 4GB space. For the other 3GB I did not use it so I leave it as unpartition space. But now I want to install linux redhat 9.0 on the 3GB unpartition space. How should I do that? I also have a document about installing linux but the demonstration will take all of the disk space of the user. But what I want is how to cofigure the HDD, RAM drive... by manually. Can anyone could help me to solve this problem???

      The header of your message and the contents are in conflict with each other. Which one is correct, do you want to install Linux in the unpartitioned space or on an existing Windows partition? Have you read the Red Hat Linux 9 installation guide, especially Appendix G?

I have a magaizne about linux and tell every step to create the partition for linux (such as swap, root...) without affect to an existing winxp partition. But now I lost that magazine, so I don't know how to install it.
