RE: Install question
I'm currently tri-boot using System Commander myself. My hardware:
64MB RAM
5.5 GB HD
My installation process was:
Fdisk drive as FAT16 into primary & extended partition leaving about 1.5 GB
as unpartitioned freespace.
Installed Win98.
Installed System Commander.
Installed NT WS into the same partition as Win98 (no NTFS).
Installed Debian.
System Commander makes things nearly foolproof. The only thing left to do
was to suppress the NT loader message. This can be done by modifying both
the boot.ini on the root of the primary partition and the boot.ini in the
System Commander directory. Unattrib the read-only setting and modify the
timeout setting to:
timeout=0.

Subject: Install question
Hello!
I have a friend that wants to install in his new 6GB HD Win98, WinNT and
Linux.
In which order must he do the process? I suppose that Win98 will try to own
the whole computer when installing, and I don't know what kind of
partitioning is the best. He will use System Commande r to select the OS to
boot.
He hasn't decided which distribution will use. If he gets a quick response
from Debian people....
Thanks in advance
Javi
