2. leave at least two partitions in the hard disk for the installation system. 4 GB or more partitions are recommended for mount points. The swap zone is not too large and is suitable for around-MB. The file system format is optional, the installation process is reformatted.
3. record the following device models on your computer: Mouse, keyboard, video card, Nic, and display. And the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS name server address used in network settings.

Ii. Install red-flag Linux Desktop 4.0
Set the optical drive as the first boot disk, place it in the first installation disc, and restart the computer. If your optical drive supports auto-boot, if no accident occurs, it will appear as 1

If no operation is performed, the next screen is automatically displayed 10 seconds later, as shown in figure 2.

The mouse can be used as soon as it is started, which is more efficient. The software protocol can only be selected for consent. Unless you do not want to install it, click "Next", as shown in figure 3.

Select the installation type. Generally, select "typical installation". Here is another option: "Recover System Boot", which will be used in future systems, the system uses it for recovery when a problem occurs. click Next, as shown in figure 4.

Configuring partitions is a key step. If you do not do this, you will lose the useful data on the hard disk. Please be careful. The main reason why some users who have been using Windows For A Long Time cannot install Linux is that they do not understand this step. If you select "Use the fdisk program for manual partitioning (expert only)", click "Next", as shown in Figure 5

Partitioning Using this method is not suitable for common users, nor is it suitable for me! Click the "previous" button, return to figure 4, and then select "use Disk Druid to manually partition". Then, click "Next", as shown in figure 6.

Select "use Disk Druid for manual partitioning" to list the details of each partition. This is intuitive and suitable for me. My hard disk has four partitions, and the first partition has Windows 98 installed. I want to keep it in dual-system mode. All partitions of the hard disk are listed in the table. I plan to use the D and E disks of the original system. Use/dev/hda5 (4.8G) as the mount point to install the system, and use/dev/hda6 (252 M) as the swap partition.
Here, I will first create a mount point, where the mount point is placed in the/dev/hda5 partition, that is, the original (d disk). The mount point creation procedure is as follows: click "/dev/hda5" to select it, see Figure 7.

Click the edit button to bring up the dialog box shown in figure 8.

Select "/" in the "mount point" column to use the root directory of the selected partition. The initial file system type is vfat (that is, the current file system is FAT32) this format is dedicated for Windows systems. Linux Mount Points can only use ext2 or ext3, so you must change the file system format, select "format the partition into:" and select "ext3" in the selection bar on the right, as shown in figure 9.

If you have insufficient confidence in the quality of your own hard disk, you should also choose "Check Disk Bad blocks ?" Check it and click "OK". In the partition table, you can see the created mount point, as shown in figure 10.

As shown in the figure, the mount point is located in the/dev/hda5 partition, and the format of the partition file system is also marked as ext3. It can be seen that the mount point has been successfully created.
You must create a swap partition before you can install the swap partition. In the swap partition, I select the/dev/hda6 partition (that is, the original edisk ). To create a swap partition, follow these steps: click "/dev/hda6" in the partition table shown in Figure 10 to select it, as shown in Figure 11.

Click Edit. the dialog box shown in 12 is displayed.

Because/dev/hda6 is used for swap partitions, you do not need to select the mount point column, just select "format the partition into swap", such as 13

After "format the partition into swap" is selected, the mount point column is marked as not applicable. Click "OK", as shown in figure 14.

As shown in the figure, the/dev/hda5 partition is marked as the swap file system format, and the swap partition is successfully created. Click Next in the lower-right corner of the screen. The following figure is displayed: 15

The system prompts you to format the two partitions. After clicking "yes", the displayed partition is 16. At that time, the two partitions are not formatted. After the installation wizard is complete, format the two partitions before copying the file.

In this step, configure the boot program and select the Boot Record installation location. Generally, the Boot Record is stored on the hard disk (/dev/hda) by default. The two items listed in the List position in the figure are the startup options displayed in the Startup menu, the boot volume is marked as the content displayed at startup, and the display items are Windows and Red Flag Linux respectively. Change "Windows" to "Windows 98", and change "Red Hat Linux" to "Red Hat Linux 9 "; the procedure is as follows: click "/dev/hda1 DOS/Windows" and select it to display it as dark blue, change "Windows" to "Windows 98" in the box on the right of "Boot volume label", as shown in figure 17

Click "/dev/hda5 ext3 Red Hat Linux" and select it to display it as dark blue. In the same way, change Red Hat Linux to Red Hat Linux 4.0; 18 after modification

Finally, select the default system to be started in the Start Menu. Click the white box in front of the system to change it to "v" during startup, I select "Red Hat Linux 4.0" and click "Next", as shown in 19

Set the system administrator password, that is, the root user password. In the confirmation box, enter the password again to confirm the correctness of the password. The root account has the highest authority root in the system. Generally, this account is not used to log on to the system. After setting the root password, you should create a common account that is used to log on to the system at the same time and click "add". The dialog box shown in Figure 20 is displayed.

In the Add new user dialog box, enter the user name (such as abc) of the Common Account, enter the password used by the account, and enter the password again in the confirmation box to confirm, as shown in Figure 21.

Click "OK", as shown in Figure 22.

In this case, we can see that an ordinary account named abc is added, and click "Next", as shown in Figure 23.

The Installation Wizard ends at this point. If you have any objection to the above steps, you can directly click "previous" to return and reset the settings. Otherwise, click "Next" and no "previous" to select the program. To start the installation, click "Next", as shown in Figure 24.

The first step before copying a file is to format the selected two partitions, as shown in Figure 25.

Start copying files to the hard disk. The time is not long, and then appears, as shown in Figure 26.

Installation preparation in progress, which is really extensive and will soon show up, as shown in 27

A slow and long installation process has started. You can take a rest for about 30 minutes. After completion, it appears, as shown in Figure 28

This step is to create a boot disk. We recommend that you create a boot disk! Put the blank floppy disk with write protection removed into the floppy disk and click "Next", as shown in Figure 29

Creating boot disk, as shown in Figure 30.

The system prompts that the installation is complete. After the floppy disk is removed, click "Next" and the system restarts. The "start" menu appears for the first time, as shown in 31.

The first option is to enable the GUI normally, the second option is to enter the safe mode, the third option is to enter the command prompt mode, and the fourth option is to enter Windows 98. If you select the second option to enter safe mode, the first option is X settings (graphics card and display settings), and then system settings, which are suitable for users who cannot start the system normally. If you select the third item to enter the command prompt mode, it is suitable for those who do not want to waste system resources. Select normal start, and enter automatically after 10 seconds. The error message is displayed, as shown in Figure 32.

The following figure shows 33.

In the login window, you can change the user name to log on with user abc. Log on to the system as administrator root for the first time. Enter the password and press enter, as shown in Figure 34.

It takes longer to log on for the first time. Please wait, as shown in 35.

After the peripheral device is initialized, the following page appears, as shown in Figure 36.

After the window manager is started, the window manager is displayed, as shown in 37.

After the panel is started, the following page appears, as shown in Figure 38.

The installation is complete. Now the system is started as the root user. The graphic interface will be used to access the system later. There is a tip for the first time, which helps you better understand some basic functions of the Red Flag Desktop 4.0 and is very useful to the first installer. If you do not want to display the prompt window after starting the instance, you only need to cancel the check box before "show prompt at startup" and close the prompt window, as shown in 39.

This is the login desktop of Hongqi desktop version 4.0. The desktop is very similar to the Windows style, very good! Technology is people-oriented, and the most convenient things will be used by the most people, because ordinary users will definitely be more than researchers, which is absolute. Open "my computer" and enter the input method, as shown in Figure 40.

Among the many Linux versions, I think the current Red Flag desktop version 4.0 is the closest to the Windows user's habit. It can automatically mount (Display) the content of the base partition at startup, also comes with five Chinese input methods. All work is completed. Share it with you!

Iii. How to uninstall the red-flag Linux Desktop 4.0 system:
Enter "fdisk/mbr" in the DOS prompt "A: \> _" and press enter to overwrite the primary Boot Sector of the hard disk, after the restart, there will be no Startup menu for red-flag Linux Desktop 4.0, and then formatting the partition where red-flag Linux Desktop 4.0 is located!
