Yes I know. I have already an UMSDOS installation of Peanut Linux, but I
just wanted to give a try to Debian.

Actually I have a 100% Linux Box (RedHat) and a 100% FreeBSD box, home.
However, in my work they don't let me to install Linux (I really don't
know why), so I have to use Winblows. I tried to explain that an UMSDOS
installation is a kind of Linux emulation (sic), although I know that this
is not true, and they believed it! :-)
Thanx for your answer. Best wishes for the new year!
Cheers,
