I can not remember how to install Debian Linux on Drive D while preserving Windows98 SE on drive C. I saved the following in the C:\Linux. that's simply answered: during isntallation you simply can tell debian to install on your second drive (/dev/hdb) Be sure to note that: c: = /dev/hda d: = /dev/hdb this is only if both drives are in this order on your firstr ide-controler Note also that: booting linux from the 2nd drive will still need to overwrite the mbr (master boot record) of the first drive to be seen by the bios. After that, you need to reconfigrue lilo to make windows bootable from the lilo prompt or: a. use a boto disk for linux all the time b. use loadlin.exe from dos (not a dos-box under windows or restart in ms-mode). > Directory of C:\Linux > > . <DIR> 05-26-02 12:36p . > .. <DIR> 05-26-02 12:36p .. > SPEAKU~1 GZ 3,543 06-18-02 6:50p speakup-jfw.tar.gz > DRIVERS TGZ 4,977,928 06-28-02 1:59p drivers.tgz > EMACSP~1 0 <DIR> 06-07-02 6:59p emacspeak-16.0 > INSTALL BAT 80 06-18-02 6:53p install.bat > RAWRITE2 EXE 17,863 06-09-02 8:56a rawrite2.exe > RAWRITE2 TXT 1,675 06-09-02 8:57a rawrite2.txt > IMAGES-1 44 <DIR> 06-09-02 8:42p images-1.44 > BASE2_2 TGZ 15,684,296 06-22-02 9:29a base2_2.tgz > LOADLIN EXE 32,208 06-09-02 8:30p loadlin.exe > DOSUTILS <DIR> 06-30-02 10:16a dosutils > LINUX 1,052,555 06-17-02 2:07p linux > INSTALL PIF 967 07-18-02 3:54p install.PIF > README~1 HTM 3,794 06-17-02 7:24p readme_1st.htm > RAWWRITE ZIP 197,185 06-30-02 1:20p rawwrite.zip > SPEAKU~2 GZ 102,905 07-18-02 4:01p speakup-1.00.tar.gz > RAWWRI~1 <DIR> 06-30-02 1:24p rawwritewin > SPEAKU~1 0 <DIR> 07-18-02 4:02p speakup-1.0 > > Using WinZip8.0 i extracted "speakup-1.00.tar.gz" to C:\Linux\speakup-1.0.
