Paul: You should be able to do it if the drive is going to be dedicated entirely to RedHat. According to http://www.redhat.com/software/linux/technical/, you need at least 475 MB for a minimum installation, 1.7 GB for a personal desktop, 2.1 GB for a workstation. (You won't be able to install everything, however, as that requires 5.0 GB.) Note that these requirements do _not_ include file storage space. Carroll, Thank you for that, would I have enough in a 10gb drive for applications plus data storage?. Paul.
