if you don't know how to partition a hard disk i strongly, honestly reccomend against using linux at this point in time unless there is someone local to you that can hold your hand. i have helped many many people in person from knowing nothing about linux to being able to use it everyday but many of them i don't think would of made it on their own(before giving up) without a lot of help. especially debian. debian is not a userfriendly system to install. if your ready to spend days/weeks configuring it then post your specific questions here. in your case i would suggest getting a dedicated PC and using something like mandrake until you get the hang of linux. then move to debian later. setting up a dual boot can be dangerous unless you know exactly what your doing(honestly the first time i tried with slackware ~5 years ago i wiped out my C: so i speak from experience). i don't mean to discourage you but to save you a lot of effort, your post suggests you are not ready for debian(yet). nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
