( your first HD ) then, you install Linux on the second drive. it's quite simple, as you have two HD's almost no partitioning is needed. when the linux installer starts ang gets you into te partition manager phase, simply make sure you make a swap partition of about twice the size of your RAM and the rest leave it for linux ( ext2 or ext3 filesystem ). if you were using this drive as a backup drive for windows, you may have to delete existing partitions on that HD before this. oh, and Lilo can install itself on your Master Boot Record. that means when you start your computer the first thing you will see is the BIOS initializing, and then LILO will come up asking which system you want to boot. no diskettes needed.
