Help: Install 2.0 on 2nd drive?
I want finally to migrate to Debian 2.0 from 1.3.1. I have purchased a
new
12.7 gig Quantum drive, and hope to install 2.0 on it, but leave 1.3.1
temporarily on the old drive (this drive has win95 on the first
partition, and
Debian 1.3.1 and a swap on the next two partitions---I boot from a
floppy into
1.3.1). After I am sure I have 2.0 working correctly (booting
temporarily from
a new floppy) I want to delete 1.3.1, and use that space for backup. I
also
plan to replace Win95 by WinNT and use its boot routine to dual boot
(into
Linux by default). Can anyone tell me whether this is feasible, and any
possible roadblocks on the way. When I am finished, I would like my 2.0
partition to look like the 1.3.1 partition does now. Will this involve
remounting it to /? As you can see, I am a relative newbie who has
avoided
this transition for too long now. Any help would be much appreciated.
