[CLUE-Tech] New Red Hat install

[Kevin Cullis]

Michael,

Having been through something very similar with SuSe, ABSOLUTELY do a
manual partition. While I agree with the fresh install, before you do
it, check out the backup and restore at this site:

As one who in the past was very careful and then once trusted the
"newbie" install, I learned my lesson not to trust ever again install
scripts.
