Re: Installing
hi edu
you are lucky...
lave your windows box alone....( /dev/hda -- aka C: )
use your 2nd disk ( /dev/hdb -- aka D: ) for debian or other linux distro
when you have installed debian...tell it to put "boot record" on /dev/hda
and when lilo asks for root partition ... use /dev/hdb1 if you used
that as your root partition during fdisk of your installation
- be sure to create a "boot floppy" during the debian installs
- if the finished debian/windows box dont boot...dont worry...
- lilo problem can be easily fixed...
have fun
