I am trying to get the base install to work.  I am running Win95 OSR B and I
have enabled FAT32 access.  I didn't relize the difference.  What would the
easiest way be to install Debian? 1)Create a small DOS partition (which I
think Win95 would recognize) and move the install files to it. 2) Just use
disks.

I have a 4GB SCSI hardrive.  2GB, Win95 will be using and the other 2GB will
be for Linux.  How would you suggest that I divide it up to create my
filesystem?  I am trying to learn how to use Linux in order to use it as a
mailserver and a webserver using Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

Thanks for the help,
