This FAQ will slowly use the spare time, and just think about some things I think, I know and can find some things, so I don't necessarily be completely correct, only for reference, I hope that other friends can point out errors in time, and complete together it. Preparation before installation: Q: What is the requirements for hardware for hardware? A: "Do not support hardware. This hardware is not compatible with Mandrakelinux, which may be the lack of open source drivers or manufacturers refuse to cooperate." ---- Excerpt from the Mandrake home page. It should be said that on the basic hardware required for operating system installation, Linux now supports most of the hardware on the market. If you go wrong before entering official installation, make sure that you can troubleshoot the installation media, please check if the CPU is overclocking, whether the contacts are good in contact, and whether the fans are still turning. Q: What kind of installation method does my Linux have? A: I have only used a few issues, but I think that there are DOC catalogs on the distribution discs or INSTALL, README, and related files, which describe the various specific installation methods of this release. Don't say that you don't know English, I think that people who learn computers can don't know English, but you should definitely know how to check English-Chinese dictionary. For the currently commonly used installation method, there are methods such as disc, hard disk, and networks, although the disc is the most cost-effective, but other two methods are non-use.

http://www.linuxForum.net/forum/gshowflat.php?cat=347718&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=all&fpart= Q: What is the requirement for the hard disk before installing Linux? A: In addition to adequate free Outside the space, there should be an excess space partition number can be divided, or it will appear errors "of the partitions that cannot be done", see: http://www.linuxforum.net/forum/gshowflat.php? Cat = & board = newbie & number = 509668 & Page = 0 & view = collapsed & sb = 5 & o = all & fpart = Q: Linux started partitioning Before 1024 cylinders of the hard disk? A: Because some old machine BIOS or old version of Lilo's relationship, Previously installed Linux all the small partitions in 1024 column, as Linux started partitions; but the current new machine and the new version of Lilo have no such limit, only need Lilo.conf simple Plus LBA32 is OK. Q: Do I need a Swap partition? How much? How big? A: This problem has been arguing, if you are interested, write an email to launch the Swap concept, this forum There are also relevant discussion, for reference only http://www.linux process.net/forum/showthreaded.php?cat=158857&page=&view=158857&page=&view=158857&page= q 如何: how can my Linux partition plan? A root and swaps still divide a lot of MOUNT POINT ??? A: As for the partition plan, there is no standard, since it allows customization, then it is planned according to user needs, such as: yet: there is no entry, and there is no time to see Friends who finish Linux file system basic concepts, just simply separate a root and swap, so that the concept of related mount points and other concepts; but for the Linux machine generally used to serve customers, there is definitely related backup Or systematic system performance, then it is definitely necessary to make a partition, how many districts are divided. On my present situation, if I re-being partitioned, I will follow the rules: 1 / USR to stay 4-5g Space, if you don't need XWindow, you don't need such a big, but you do have a lot of easy-to-use configuration tools under xwindow; for example: I don't know how to be in CONS. OLE Configuring the printer, but XWindow is more convenient to be more than 2 / If the server runs a service similar to FTP / Samba, you must save the files of these services, which will avoid any service occupation. The remaining space of the root directory causes the system or other services without the free space stop service. 3 / / var / log is divided into separate partitions, and don't be too embarrassing. If the server is more service, the access is large, You will find that the log occupation hard disk space is amazing fast. 4 / / home, if the server opens the user FTP or Samba, this directory must be separated, maybe, calculate the number of users and how big the space is prepared for each person, I This partition will be divided into EXT3 partitions and enable quota to limit the mail directory of each user's disk space 5 / system. Mainly to back up users and prevent root partition spaces from being used by comrades. The default mail directory of each release is different. The default log service settings of the system will send all the errors, some or even warning information to the administrator of this service. For example, in my root's mailbox, there will be several TAR error information, because I use Tar to back up / lib / mysql directories twice a day, and then MySQL is running, the prompt is like a message in the mailbox. What is the PID of mysql.
Then the TMP partition or other partitions you need, the general principle of this is to prevent the system from stopping work because of the root directory and services because there is no free space. The above is just a brief description of things that I have to pay attention to here, and the real part of the partition plan is much considered. It is like a partition that often reads and writes, is it? What kind of file system is used? Multiple points. . . . . . More references to other administrators, combined with their own actual situation. The following information can also be refer to: http://www.fanqiang.com/a1/b5/20010827/0700001187.html Q: I have a free space, and have unallocated primary partitions or expanded partitions, but why The distribution of the distribution tool does not let me divide / boot? A: I have not searched related answers, but I think it may be related to the / boot to be divided into 1024 cylinders. My solution is to use custom partitions, that is, FDisk first divided a small Linux partition, and then use the distribution partition tool to do the mount point operation. Q: What kind of file system is my partition? A: Now Linux can use a large file system, Reiserfs, XFS, JFS, GFS, EXT2, EXT3, and other file systems, each file system has its own characteristics, as far as I use EXT3, in addition to Home With Reiserfs; It turns out that there is a related file system evaluation, and Reiserfs performance is not bad, but there is no quota support. IBM has the topic of the related file system, you can refer to yourself to choose http://www-900.ibm.com/developerWorks/cn/linux/theme/special/index.shtml#filesystem Q: The boot tool is still used by LILO or Grub? A: LILO is the old Linux boot tool, and the grub function is more powerful. I feel that if it is not a very complicated situation, no matter which guidance, you can get the dual system boot by default; if you have more complicated situations, or if you have some messy, you must learn this. The operation of the two tools LILO configuration Raiders http://linux.online.tj.cn/howto/files/63.html GRUB Getting Started Tutorial http://www.linuxforum.net/forum/gshowflat.php?cat=&board = Newbie & Number = 130177 & Page = 1 & view = collapsed & sb = 5 & o = all & fpart = Q: Boot tool should be installed in MBR or installed in Linux partition? A: This problem will mainly appear on the dual system, I think unless you put Linux / boot in the logical partition, otherwise, put the boot tool in MBR is a good choice, after all, whether it is LILO or GRUB, function More than Win2k's Oslineer is much stronger. The introduction and application of the related two tools, the link has been posted above Q: The system is installed, but LILO has many problems in the system startup A: 5. LILO error message No information LILO is not installed or installing the LILO partition is not activated Li LILO first part is loaded, the second part is wrong. Generally due to LILO positioning errors or tries to the wrong BOOT.B file. The second part of the LIL LILO is loaded, but Descriptor Tables are not successfully read from the Map file. Lil? The second part of LILO is loaded in the wrong place, why is the same "Li".
