Re: Partitioning prior to dual boot installation of Debian and Windows ME



Now *this* is an opinion! I've built boxes and used both fdisk and cfdisk to 
partition my drives and do complete installs, *then* moved onto installing 
windoz. Since I knew that installing windoz was going to break my 
lilo(@mbr), I built a boot disk. Post win98 install, I just boot off the 
diskette and re-run lilo - all better :)

Guess I need to find a disposable winME so I can learn how it breaks. . . :|
