Mount Points

[BearcatHK]

I was trying to install Red Hat Linux 7 on a system currently running Win 98. I got the second partition created, and ran the install. When it gets to Disk Druid, it wants me to input a value for the Mount Point of the Windows partition. What do I put in? It wont let me continue until this is done. Thanks for your help! :)

You can pretty much put in whatever you like. I believe that the standard mount point for a windows partition on a RH system is /mnt/windows. Hope this helps :)

This link might help you: http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7-Manual/install-guide/s1-install-partitioning.html

Note figure 5-8. The left side of the window appears to have information on how set up your windows partition.

I put mine as "/dosc", "/dosd", "/dose" etc.

It's ok if you do not specify this during the installation. You can always mount it later with when you need it:

mkdir /mnt/YYY
mount -t vfat /dev/hdXX /mnt/YYY

where "hdXX" is your windows partition (e.g. hda1, hda2, hdb1, hdb2 etc.). You can take note of it during your installation. And "YYY" is whatever you want to call it.

Hope this helps and have fun.

BearcatHK, you wouldn't happen to go to UC would you?
