Jeff, I am in just about the same state that you are for installation. I've sucessfully installed it once alreaday, but when I went on to the FTP portion I messed up and selected WAY too many files... but then I went back and read install.txt (which was one of quite a few files that I downloaded overnight) It's 30 pages, but it really covers the installation portion quite well. I reformatted it to fit with my Word Processor and have pronted it out. I also printed out dselect.beginner.txt and have both those references together. If you want to keep your current partition of Win95 / 98, you will need a passive partition manager, which will resize any partition without destroying it. Be warned that it is not 100% fool-proof and you'll definitely want to backup anything on your computer that Dell didn't send master disks/CD-Rom's for. I have one such program called FIPS, which I have from a Slackware Linux CD I have here at the house. If you can't find it, e-mail me and I'll send it to you in one way or another, it's a small freeware program. Good Luck!
