I realy apritiate all the help.

Things are starting to make sence, Caldera comes with partition magic, so it installed easily, therefor I became invisible to partitions, not knowing a thing about them because caldera took care of it. I learned that fips is for changeing the size of partitions to make room for linux, whereas fdisk can add and delete partitions, I also learned that the linux partition is invisible to windows fdisk because it is a difernt file system. So I found the documentation on how to install redhat at www.redhat.com and started reading, it makes sence. I used rawrite to create a boot image on my floppy, i then inserted the floppy and Cd then rebooted, the redhat instalation screen apeared. There were a few optiopns:

install or upgrade from redhat 2 or something
and expert mode

then it saidthe disk can no longer be used as a resuce disk, so I just chose expert

I started top answer questions till i got to the partitioning screen. It gave me a option to use disk druid or fdisk to partition, it said disk druid might be easyer so i chose disk druid. It had listed my primary partition as hda1, requested 1354MB Actual 1354MB and type was Win95 FAT32, I clicked the add button and it asked for some information, but what do I put there?

I know my HD is a IDE and has 2Gig of space but thats about all I know about it other then the manufacute is pioneer. I seen the part in redhat documentation telling you to find information before you start, I colected a lot of info and am still waiting for a reply from my monitors maufacture with the specks because they dont apear to have a web site, they are digital Equipment Corp.

In the red hat documentation where it shows you how to find system information i found most of it but some I could not find. Im just not sure what to put when i use disk druid to add a partition.
