Review title: So far, not helpful.
Product review: I'm working on installing Linux in the same hard drive as Windows, and I'm running into some difficulty partitioning my disk. This book's description of that process was not at all helpful. It did say I was going to have to run a utility called fips, but its explanation of why I needed to run fips was so tortuously incoherent that I couldn't tell what fips was supposed to do for me, or how to run it to get the results I wanted. I had to go out to the Red Hat site to find out that fips would reduce the size of the Windows partition on my hard drive, and that using it was like playing Russian roulette with my Windows installation. I really don't know if the rest of the book is as bad because I haven't managed to get myself successfully install Linux using the instructions in this book.I'm still in the market for a good book on Red Hat Linux. Anyone know of one?
