Hi,
OK we will asume some here...
1- Your win 2k you want to keep it the way it
is.
2- The 2nd drive you want to use for MDK92 is empty
or you want to wipe it.
3- You know how to connect/disconnect drives
- change primary/slave links..
4- You are new to linux
5- Prepared to spend some time getting used to
it.
6- Win2k is primary *hda* 2nd is
slave *hdb* at the moment.
7- Your PC can boot from cd
8- If the above is true THEN you now
have GOLDEN chance to PRACTICE a bit
.9- Make 2 or 3 or even more practice installs -
you will NEVER regret it - try different choices each time. (I know that from
the 5 onwards you will become comfortable - beginning to know what to
expect)
I suggest...
a- Disconnect your win2k drive (remember murphy's
law)
b- Later use it as slave then the mbr will not
change & change pri/slave link to slave.
c- 2nd slave change to primary drive & connect
as *hda*.
d- Boot and follow the choices up to use entire
disk / expert / etc.
e- This is your first time pick entire disk and MDK
will do it all.
f- When you reach packet choices - pick some more
or just accept as this will be a practice run
g- Change CD's when requested.
h- Eventually you will have to choose were to write
the bootloader - pick MBR
i- When you reach the config window - there will be
quite a few choices to do.
j- The 2nd last one is your bootloader lilo
or grub - pick lilo and the 2n time around pick grub (I prefer grub- others like
lilo)
k- follow instructions untill reboot - do
so.
PLEASE you have the change do a few installations -
get the feel of the system.
OK there is some gaps to this suggestions but if
you do some practice installs you will notice them
Goodluck
Enjoy (cry
???)
