Hi Premela,
Here goes the answers
1. How to configure the SMP as I am using two Intel Pentium III Processors?
while installation itself you should have selected the smp kernel. I think in server class
installation, the smp kernel gets selected by default. if yes, your /etc/lilo.conf will something
like this
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20smp
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux-up
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
If the first image is /boot/vmlinux-2.2.12-20smp then , you have already got the smp kernel by
default.
OR
There is one more method by which you find out this . Do a "uname -a " This will tell you, as to
which kernel your pc is currently working on.
2. Is there a way to resize the partitions while running/using the Linux OS?
No. I dont' know of any such option. But, definetely it is possible if you select this
resizing/growable of partition while installing the OS. Please go thru the HOW -TO / INSTALLATION
GUIDE. It is clearly given over there.
3. Any tips on how best to do partitioning on this machine that has 18.2 GB hard Drive, 384MB RAM
Well, i don't know the need and exact objective of yours of installing such a pc. So i cna't truly
state anything clearly. But, it my opinion the following way of partitioning will be good
a) /dev/hda1 +120M (swap partition)
b) /dev/hda2 +2.0 GB (Root partition)
c) /dev/hda3 +3.0 GB (/usr partition -to install applications )
d) /dev/hda4 +16.0 GB EXTENDED
e) /dev/hda5 +6.0 GB ( /home partition - your home partition - to keep personal stuffs)
The remaining partitions you can split up into according to your need.
I hope i have made myself clear.
Please get back to me if you have any doubts
Regards
