I too am a new user and have installed linux on hdb1 and windows 2000 on
hda1. I can boot to linux and windows and have lilo configured properly but
dselect and tasksel aren't able to find the packages (which are on hda1 in
order to install them. Tasksel cant see them at all (is there a config file
or something I can point it too) and dselect can see them to tell me whats
available. After I go through the million and a half debian packages and
choose what I want to install, when I go to install it looks at a different
location and fails to install. Thanks for any help

Very Simple, just use lilo.
You must install Windows first (if it is installed after Debian it will
wipe the MBR (master boot record).
Then just edit /etc/lilo.conf and add something like:
other=/dev/hda3
label="Windows"
(change hda3 to whatever your windows partition is)
Don't forget to run lilo when you've edited the config file!
That should do it.
