preparing to install debian

[Bob Edwards <redwards@arkansas.net>]

Good morning!

I ordered a three CD set of debian cds and am preparing to install
debian. I have some specific questions:

(1) how do i configure debian for dsl ?

(2) What do I have to do to get debian to recognize all three of my hard
drives ?

(3) what do I have to do to be able to dual boot to either debian (yea)
or windows 98 (boo!!) ?

(4) what is this "potato" that I keep reading about?

I am very new to Linux, but have chosen it as the primary os for my
computer because of its stability and reliability. I have a lot to
learn, but I have to start somewhere.
