Re: Debian Installation on a cybercafe PC

Thanks for the concern and warning though. I didn't take it
negatively. Just that I haven't seen a Linux installation corrupting
the other OS.

The worst that could happen is what? Partitions getting deleted or is
there anything else more devasting and disastrous and unrecoverable?

Regards,
Deboo
