Presently my P3-500mhz laptop is installed with win98se and winxp. It has a
40gb hard drive. Win98se is installed in primary partition (FAT32) c: and
winXP in the secondary partition (FAT32), logical drive d:

c: has about 17gb, d: about 8gb and e: (also FAT32) about 9gb free space.

If I start RH 9.0 installation from the CD what will happen? Do I have to
delete logical drive e: first before I start the installation.........since
Linux cannot read FAT32? What is the equivalent drive representation for c:
d: e: in Linux. And after I have finished installing RH 9.0 will there be a
choice
menu appearing on restart?
