Subject:	HD fdisk/format for linux Red Hat 6.2

Hello Listers,
 One of our machines experienced a disk crash. The machine came with a
factory-installed linux Red Hat 6.0 as its only OS.
We got a brand new replacement disk and the user intends to have Red Hat
6.2 as his OS.

How do we prepare the hard disk for linux installation ? Do we use DOS
fdisk and format and a generic CD driver to start linux installation CD ?
Can I use a win98 startup diskette from another machine to fdisk and
format the new drive ?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Irena.                                      ([log in to unmask])
