Install Linux on Win98 computer



Hello all,
	Newbie here, I've installed Debian at home and would now like to install
Debian on a separate partition on my work computer.  Win98 is currently
loaded on the first 2 Gb's of the drive, the remaining 1 Gb is currently
free space.  I believe I can just install Debian and use Loadlin to boot my
Linux, but I've been somewhat confused by the various references I see in
the HOWTO's to needing to have Linux in the first 1024 cylinders.  Is this
limitation something I need to worry about, does Loadlin take care of this?
(broad questions I know)?
	My computer is a Dell Pentium-Pro 180mhz with 128 RAM and a 3 GB drive. I
wish to install the current version of Slink.  Thanks alot for the help.
