Install Options
 | Note |
|---|---|
Before you choose an installation type, remember that if you would like to try out Red Hat Linux without repartitioning your existing system, and your system as a FAT (DOS/Windows) partition with sufficient free space, you can perform a partitionless installation. This method is perfect for people who are new to Linux, and who would like to try Red Hat Linux with a minimum of disruption to their computer. To learn more about this method, refer to Appendix B. |
Choose whether you would like to perform a full installation or an upgrade (see Figure 4-4).
Red Hat Linux allows you to choose the installation type that best fits your needs. Your options are Workstation, Server, Laptop, Custom, or Upgrade.
To perform an upgrade, please refer to Appendix A.
For more information about the different installation classes, please refer to the section called Step 5 - Which Installation Class is Best For You? in Chapter 2.
