          Recently, I started to run ROMS ~~~ I had to say:
          "really exhausted but happy job".ROMS was not as
          easy as I expected, so more effort is needed.

          I hope dear rookies will join me until we become
          expertized together...

=====================

1. Red Hat Linux 8.0 installation CD (3 pieces)
2. XX software (allocate physical disks)
3. Internet connection
4. Red Hat Linux 8.0
   > 1.5 GB of free disk space                                                                    
   > 1.8 GB of free disk space (If choosing both the GNOME and KDE)
   > 32M RAM (Required)
   > 64M RAM (Recommended)

2. Allocate disk space
   My laptop was once installed Windows XP sp2 as OS. I do not want to withdraw it temporarily, so my husband Sam helps me reallocate 15G D disk space with XXX software. Then we get logical allocation as:
   /etc
   /xxx
   /xxx

3. Follow the instruction and install Linux, please remember to select all the necessary packages. For me, I will run ROMS, so the developing package and GCC kit are indispensable.
