Premela, I don't know if anyone has helped you with your question yet but I will give you the tips that I know. I have installed RH on many netfinity's, to run with an SMP kernel you need to install the kernel sources into /usr/src/ and they will be in the linux directory in that tree, from there you need to follow the kernel how-to in the Linux doc project, it is too long for me to try and explain here. For the disk partitions I would suggest the man pages for fsck,however changing partition sizes is a brave venture on a running machine. As far as how to do the partition structure, that is entirely up to you, however it depends what the machine is being used for, if it is going to be a database you will probably want to separate the data and the OS and the database applications, the purpose of this is to try and keep the data from fragmenting. If anyone has other suggestions or if I have missed something please include it.

I have just installed RedHat Linux 6.0 on IBM netfinity 5000 Server. I did a server class installation. I want some help to do the following :-
1. How to configure the SMP as I am using two Intel Pentium III Processors? 2. Is there a way to resize the partitions while running/using the Linux OS? 3. Any tips on how best to do partitioning on this machine that has 18.2 GB hard Drive, 384MB RAM when doing Custom class installation
Really appreciate any kind of tips and leads to this matter.
Thanks in advance.
