Re: linux installation help
Any specefic reason for installing RedHat 9? That's because its a very old distro. You can try Fedora Core 5 (or Fedora Core 6, which is coming out tomorrow). Or, as my personal suggestion, try Ubuntu.
Anyway, you have to make a filesystem which linux supports. I have never installed Red Hat 9, so dunno how the installer is, but it should prompt you to make an ext3 file system on the free space and mount it as '/'. |

Re: linux installation help
And For Information, Red Hat Linux was "Renamed" to Fedora Core in 2003..
So the Latest Red Hat Linux version is Fedora Core 5 (6 will be released in few Days) Refer the Version History in this Wikipedia Article

Re: linux installation help
^^ Umm.. NO! RedHat (now known as RedHat Enterprise Linux) is the official PAID version and Fedora Core is the community supported FREE version just like openSuSE and SLED! And FC6 is releasing tomorrow (hopefully!)

Re: linux installation help
Well Red Hat Enterprise Linux is more of a descendent of Red Hat Linux. Whereas Fedora Core is more of an community distro which has just the backing of Red Hat.
