Subject: System with Linux Only

Hi all,

Currently, I have my system dual boot with Windows XP and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES. Can I install Linux removing Windows so that I get enough space to install Oracle 10g ( which currently has only 1.4 GB with is not enough ).
Kindly reply...
Regards,

you migh want to unclutter your XP first, unused programs, files, etc (try CCleaner)


there's a lot of disk partition managers out there. Parted Magic just had a new release.

Ante,

Thanks for your reply. But, you mean to say that I can reclaim my Windows XP partition using the disk partition utility? In fact, I can reinstall Linux. That would be fine. Whats your opinion?

Your response is highly appreciated.

If you are saying you want to just get rid of windows why don't you just relabel the partition i.e. - turn it into a ext3 file system or whatever you are using. Then you can mount it wherever you like and install oracle there.

I thought you wanted to triple boot or something but didn't have enough disk space.

oh well, you got what you wanted, whatever it was :)
