I´m operating with win XP , but I read that 1gb would be enough for installing redhat 9 I tried installing the "the desktop" on a 1gb partion I made and it tells me "not enough space" how much space is enough?

thanks in advance

the installation is about 1.6 g so i suggest you to make 3-4 g because if you want to install programs download thing so i suggest the min is 3-4, you can make it bigger if you want.

Thanks I moved everything around and found 5 gb for redhat to live in........BUT after installing red hat, during the first start up I choose not to make a user account with user name and login
and when it started, it asked me for just that! so now Im stuck and cant start the GNOME cause I have no user name or pass

please please help

I think you can type "root" for the user and then the root's password

That does the trick thank you
(now i managed to crash it again but ill post that where it belongs)

Someone told me once that you should always create a user name for yourself for everyday use.

Only use Root when you need to make system changes.

Yes I have done that now, so mabye I dont know aloth but at least I learn fast, old windows habbit to not have user accounts cause they just take up space and time
