Redhat 7 install question (n00b)

[IBuySouls]

Okay, I boot from my install cd, press enter at the boot screen and it tries to load the GUI install. My screen then goes back and kicks out to the load screen and says:

Fatal Server Error:
No Screens Found

Does this mean it doesn't have the drivers for my vid card? (ASUS V7100 GeForce 2mx) Or is something else messed up. Anyway I can provide it with the drivers?

Anyway, the install does continue but with the text based one. I have win98 on one partition, which is half of my drive and the other half has no partitions at all. If I let Linux automatically take care of partitioning for itself (using the "Workstation" install option) will it erase my current win98 partition and if not will it setup the dual-boot for me? Thanks guys.

Just do the text install and make a custom partition config to not delete your win98 partitions. You should know how to do this since you read info on installation before throwing a disk in the machine.

If you are worried about Linux messing up your paritions, you can use Parition Magic to make a Linux native partion and a swap. Linux will detect these and automatically take the full partion (I assume). I have never done the auto configure before.
