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. 

Win 95/98 needs to be installed on the primary boot partition on drive
1.

your freind would be best off partitioning the drive into three 2gig
partitions, installing Win98 on the first, NT on the second and then
repartition the third for Linux main/swap.

He hasn't decided which distribution will use. If he gets a quick
response
from Debian people....

Don't know if I count as a Debian person, I've just started looking at
it in the last couple of weeks after years of suffering with
DOS/95/98/NT.

Good Luck

Jamie
