Well, you don't have to boot to dos. Red Hat 7.1 will be fine. Just make sure to configure lilo properly, and it should boot both operating systems just fine. Personally being a newby Red Hat is much more helpful than is Slackware. The configuration tools such as sndconfig, linuxconf, setup, netconf, and so on make working with it so much easier. ----- Original Message ----- From: Angelo Sonnesso <asonnesso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 4:57 AM Subject: Re: new linux user > I have a copy of Redhat 7.1, but I was considering slackware version 8. > I don't really want to boot to dos if I can help it. > > > for starters, what distro of linux are you planing on running? > > and why would you want to boot to dos? > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
