This is my thread for installing Linux. My setup is a single core AMD computer rated at 3000+ with 1 Gig of RAM and, I think, a 22Gig hard drive. It's connected to the Internet, though I haven't been able to do anything significant. I'm stuck on the fdisk command.
Typing in fdisk /dev/hda gets me "Unable to open dev/hda". Typing in fdisk /dev/sda gets the same result, with the obvious letter difference.
I'm basically following the advice of the "handbook" at www.gentoo.org and this has got me stuck. I know the hard disk works because it already has Fedora Core 1 on it. I'm going to try to boot into Fedora Core 1, whatever my result, I am then going to bed to worry about this tomorrow morning or afternoon.
Looks like it boots successfully. Damn.
Any ideas?
