Coexistance of Debian and other OS
Hello,
You need on the *first page* of the Debian website statements about
whether Debian can exist along with the user's current operating system.
Only by knowing this would I be interesting in trying Debian.
Since most personal PC's are x-86 based and most of those use Microsoft
Windows operating systems you do need to say one of the following (or a
modification of the following)
o Warning, installing Debian will distroy all data on your current
Windows disk!
or
o Debian can coexist on your current Windows platform as long as you
have at least xxx MB of disk storage available.
or
o You must purchase a disk partition application and *carefully*
partition your disk preserving your current data BEFORE you can install
debian on a free partition.
You assume too much of the reader and get bogged down in unix details
too soon.
Just a suggestion,
Best regards,
Douglas G. Danforth
