of course you can. all you need to do is make sure that you have either a linux native partition or both linux native and linux swap partitions on your hard drive or you will more than likely run in to problems during the install. you can use either cfdisk or fdisk for this task. if you want to partition a ide drive and you want the linux os to be on your master drive, do, cfdisk /dev/hda or, fdisk /dev/hda or for skuzzy do, cfdisk /dev/sda or fdisk /dev/ssda then press n to create the new partition, then press t to get a list of partition tables. you only need to worry about linux swap "type 82" and linux native "type 83". after you've configured your partitions to suit you, press shift+w to write the partition table to the disk. I've probably missed a few things along the way, but I'm sure that someone else will pick up on it.
