Linux Problem.

Hi, could you please post your queries in proper section? it helps to maintain the forum clean. Probably you didn't know we have sections other than General Discussions.

Sorry Gnurag

You will have to make space on your disk for linux, before entering the installation. Use a partition managing tool to resize existing partitions, such that there is enough free (unpartitioned) space.

As you have just 64 MB RAM, better to try a non Gnome/KDE based distro (or install without either of them). So it might be wise to stay away from Suse/Fedora/Mandrake (though they will run with tweaking)

Maybe you can try Vector Linux, its a small distro based on slackware ... it has a text menu based installation, but if you look through the docs, you shouldn't have trouble.

If you go ahead with the distro you were installing, make a larger swap space (maybe 256MB)

Drivers ... most of your hardware should be detected well, and its drivers will be provided as kernel modules. Normally you won't need to install additional drivers.

The exception is your modem. Being a winmodem, it has low chance of working

Yast is Yet Another Setup Tool. It is a graphical tool which manages software, network etc. Since it is graphical it is recommended that you have atleast 128 mb of ram. Otherwise it may not work smoothly. So the only solution is (as ujjwal told) go for a text based linux

For your linux queries , www.linuxquestions.org , for you to install a distro ,suitable for your system , install fedora3 with the dsktop enviroment which takes the least disk space and system resources.

Dropped the idea of installing linux.

Its not that easy.I,ll hire a person to do that for me.
