Hi, I am considering installing Linux on a 2 GB hard disk machine but
since this is rather small, I would like to install Linux and only Linux
(I have another windows machine). Does this sound reasonable ? I saw in
lot of tutorials this kind of step by step guidelines : "Start Windows,
then look at the value of this parameter, then reboot with Linux and set
the value of this parameter with the one you saw in Windows", which
makes me think that installing Linux without Windows is for advanced
users of Linux (I'm new to Linux). For example, how difficult is it to
install a modem without being able to look at the modem setup in Windows
?

Thanks. Alex.
