[ale] HELP! Installing Linux over Windows

[James P. Kinney III]

Then there is no longer a winXP partition.

Let redhat boot up and open a terminal window. run "df" to see the
partition layout. 

The standard redhat layout is :
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda2 /
/dev/hda3 swap

By checking the sizes of the partitions (swap won't show with df, "free"
will show swap size as well as memory usage) you can determine if the
entire drive was used.

If you selected the "remove ALL partitions on this system" and then
selected "Yes" when asked to verify, then RedHat politely tossed XP
where it belongs (the bit bucket). You don't need it so don't bother
trying to reload it. :)
