If you haven't already, I would also read over the Debian install documentation that can be found here:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/install.html If you have not done much partitioning, that is usually the toughest step for most new users. The install document has a section on that which should help. In addition, I would suggest taking a look at Partition Magic 4.0 (even though it is a commercial program). Version 4.0 can work with Linux partitions and is the probably the simplest way to partition a drive for dual booting, especially for newcomers. It's manual has a lot of good information on it also. Linux has it's own partitioning tools (fdisk, cfdisk), but I usually prefer using either PM, or the open source Ranish Partition Manager found here: http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/ It's a DOS program now, but the author is considering porting it to Linux from what I understand. If you have any more specific questions, post again. Tom Tom > Moshe Tarko wrote: > > Can someone help me set up a dual boot Linux Debian win98 system?
