Compaq Presario 1920
Greetings!
I would like to be able to dual boot to Linux on my laptop (Compaq Presario
1920, P300, 128MB, 4+ GB),and wondered if you guys had any words of wisdom.
I've installed Debian on a desktop and a server, but I'm still pretty much a
newbie and I've never setup a dual boot, much less a laptop. On my desktop I
installed off of the base system floppy disks, and the rest using dselect
over our LAN. Do I pretty much do the same thing with the laptop? Are there
any special things about setting up PCMCIA (since I'm depending on it for my
network connection? Since I want to do a non-destructive repartition, do you
guys recommend fips, or should I just bite the bullet and fdisk? What
partition sizes do you recommend? Any tips you might be able to give me
would be much appreciated.
