Well, is E a physically seperate drive, or a logical partition? If it's a
logical partition, you can't install to it unless you install using the
UMSDOS file system. I"d suggest wiping out a partition and creating an
Exf2 file system for Linux. As to how to boot up, the easiest thing to do
is to set up LILO, but if you're running linux under UMSDOS, then you
should be able to add a loadln.exe line to your DOS bootup menu.
