Hello, I am at present using the Microsoft Windows 98 OS. I have two hard discs. If I transfer everything to one hard disc and then format the "empty" disc, can I install the Debian System: i386 to this formatted hard disc without causing any problems to the Windows 98 OS? In other words can I use both systems on the computer? Having read through much of the material you have presented on you web site, I see that you caution anyone from installing your OS proceeding very system without making backups or without proceeding very delicately. You say I could lose everything on my hard disc. But that is may question. What if I put your system on the formatted hard disc. Will that cause problems anyway? I also have direct access to the internet via a cable company and am using Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Explorer 5.0. Am I overloading myself? The reason I am asking these questions is that I really like what I have read about the Debian System, but do not want to crash. I have already lost everything once and would not like to repeat that fiasco. Your help would be appreciated.
Sincerely, Robert Thrall
