Just installed the new Red Hat Beta
This is a discussion about Just installed the new Red Hat Beta in the Everything Linux category; I just installed the new Red Hat Linux 7. 4/8. 0(?) beta on my Notebook. To my surprise, this release looks more like Windows XP 8) Here a screenshot from the new desktop (running KDE 3. 0. 3): Finally, a distro with good looking default fonts.

OP
Quote:RedHat would not install, complaining about the geometry of the drive from a previous installation (must be Mandrake).
I had this error a few times. The solution: Simply click on the ignore button and continue with the installation.

OK, I tried the install. Got as far as the message, chose "ignore" and a second message came up "The partition table on device hda was unreadable. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. Would you like to initialize this drive?"
Does this just mean the Linux partitions;
hde5 - root
hde7 - home
hde - usr
Or is it telling me the the WHOLE DRIVE? I have Mandrake currently installed on ext3. I failed to mention, if not already assumed, Win XP on NTFS.
It looks like I may be better off leaving it well enough alone.

Sorry if this is a bit OT, but has anyone seen a preliminiary release schedule for the final version?
