Hi Michael, It has been a few months now since I last performed a RedHat installation, but as I recall, you can completely format the drive with the chosen file system, hopefully EXT3 if you're installing RedHat 7.2 or 7.3. When this is done, all existing data is lost, since the drive is being reformatted. This would, of course, remove Windows. If you used JFW or any other copy protected software, please be sure to remove its authorization keys from the computer's hard drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Weaver" <drwho1@btinternet.com> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 7:46 AM Subject: LINUX ON A WINDOWS PC > Hi! > If I were to buy a new computer with hardware which works under Linux and it > had windows and DOS on it, if I wanted to just have it as a Linux machine, > could I remove windows and DOS by default when installing Linux, meaning > when it comes to re-partitioning the drive, could I remove all windows and > DOS stuff? > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
