partioning for dual boot
Hello all,
I didn't see a mail list for installation problems so I decided to try this
group. If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize in advance.
I'm trying to install a debian system but I need to have the partition set
up correctly.
I currently have Windows and Redhat linux on my hard drive. Linux partition
this as follows:
location start end fs
-------- ----- --- --
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1 1 2246 NTFS
/dev/hda2 2247 2252 ext3
/dev/hda3 2253 3583 ext3
/dev/hda4 3589 3649 extended
/dev/hda4 3589 3649 linux swap
According to my theory, it looks like /dev/hda2 is the boot sector. Is this
correct?
I'd like to install debian on this existing partition. I'm assuming that I
can leave this as is and debian will write to the appropriate sections of
the hard drive. Can anyone tell me if I should change this or is it OK to
leave this as is?
All help is greatly appreciated.
