Thank you for the assistance. I ran: cd linux dosutils\loadlin linux root=/dev/ram speakup_synth=dectlk initrd=images-1.44/root.bin disksize=1.44 And The DECTalk Express on COM1 spoke. I started to go through the installation and got confused with partitioning the HD. I am running Windows 98 SE on my 14.2GB drive C and would like to install debian on my 14.2GB drive D. Do I need a swap partition? how big and would it be a new partition on my Maxtor HD? Yes I am planniing to have Lilo run and ask me to choose between Linux and Windows . Any help would be much appreciated.
