[ltp] HELP..Installing RedHad 7.2 on a Thinkpad 600E

[Marc C Greenfield]

I hope this forum can help me. I installed Red Hat 5.1 on my ThinkPad 770.
I never could get the video correct so I just left it there and never used
it.  It's on a partitioned HDD with Win98.  I want to use Linux, but I am
having trouble getting a good installation.  I now have Red Hat 7.1.  Is
there anyway to upgrade the version already sinning on my hard drive?  Thank
you.

Thanks guys! Installed this evening without issue!! What a difference then
when I tried this with RH 6.2!!!

Is there a tool like Partition Magic for Linux?
