First install Linux system notes _unix Linux

The school recently procured a I200 series of servers that decided to install Windows Server System and provide Web services. Set the server CMOS to boot from the CD, put a boot CD in, and type the FDISK command to start partitioning. The plan uses 10GB as the primary DOS Partition and the remainder as an extended partition. Because the hard disk capacity is 200GB, the partition is very slow, after the primary DOS partition is created, view the partition information and find that it is not normal. The problem remains when you delete partitions and then divide them again. It seems that you must change the partitioning tool.

"Revelation" for large hard drives above 60GB, it is best to use large hard disk partitioning tools such as Gdisk, or to partition them using a Windows 2000 installation disk that can be started directly.

The server is randomly shipped with two turbolinux system installation disk, the author at this time to consider as well as install Linux system try! The system installation disk is accompanied by a "Turbolinux 8 for AMD64 Server Quick Installation Guide" CD-ROM, the author of a general look, installation is divided into 23 steps. Put the first installation disk into the optical drive, installation prompts into the graphical interface installation, in turn, choose the installation language, installation, keyboard configuration, mouse configuration. It was a good start, but at the "disk partition" step, it prompts "There is not enough disk space to partition, and the disk needs to be manually partitioned and installed." Select the tools that partition the system--tfdisk (graphical and easy-to-use partitioning tools) and loopback (Create an environment in an existing MS-DOS partition).

The installation guide prompts you to install Linux with partitions that are appropriate for Linux, and if you are a newly installed system or you are unfamiliar with partitions (referring to partitions of the Linux system), use automatic disk partitioning. However, the "automatic Partition" that appears on the interface is not available. As prompted, you should not have a partition on your disk that is used by Linux, so you cannot use an automatic disk partition. Try Tfdisk Partitioning tool, after more than 20 minutes of trying, finally successfully completed the partition.

The author restarts the computer, installs the Linux system again, when arrives "the disk partition" This step, discovers "the automatic disk Partition" is available. Since you are unfamiliar with the Linux partition, you have to select the "Automatic disk Partition", until the installation is complete and all goes well, no more just the installation error prompted.

The installation disk is removed, the system reboots after the return of the car, and the Linux system starts slowly. After the system information is loaded, enter the username and password set in the installation, or you cannot enter the system. According to the information on the screen, in the "[Root@localhost root]#" prompt, enter the "StartX", and finally saw the Linux system's true colors. Because to install the Web service, the author will not be able to master the use of Linux system in a short time, and then decided to reload the Windows Server System.

Found a Windows Server system disk that was able to start directly, removed the original LIUNX partition when it was installed, and recreated a 10GB NTFS partition as a system partition. After installation, the system with the "Disk Management" function divided several logical partitions, leaving dozens of GB of space without creating any partitions, ready to install a Linux system. Put into the system installation disk to start the installation, and to the "disk partition" step, because the original liunx partition was deleted, "automatic disk Partition" is still not available.

This time I checked the basic knowledge of the Linux partition in order to know what to do. Select the Tfdisk partition's Radio box, click Next to start adding partitions, and first partition 64MB of space as a variety of boot file areas, the installation point is "/boot" and the partition type is "Linux ext2 (default Linux partition Type)" , and then divide the 7000MB space as the system installation area, the installation point is "/", the partition type is "Linux ext2", and the 9000M space is divided into the user directory and data area, the installation point is "/home" and the partition type is "Linux ext2", which can separate system and user data. After dividing, continue to install, everything goes well.
　　
"Revelation" for network administrators, when the contact with some new technologies, you can first look at the relevant information, will play a multiplier effect, so as not to waste too much time.
