Fedora 4 test 3, and updating it again. or can this be done?
I know how to remove the windows xp. label in grub so it will not show.
Could someone Pease help me with this ?
From your description, I can't fugure out where you currently have
FC4T3, or do you have it? I also don't see a swap partition. At any
rate, on a FC4 install with manual partition, you should be able to
assign partition 1 to / and have it formatted with ext3 file system.
That is a LOT of disk space for the system, however, so it might be
better to split it up into several partitions. A 10GB partition is
plenty for the system. You should have a swap partition about 1 - 2x
the amount of RAM in your computer (this is a very nebulous spec.) With
a few more pieces of information, someone might be able to give you
better recommendations.
