Louis,
You can do what you're describing. What you have to do is using DOS fdisk
make your windows partition. Don't make any extended partitions. Only the
primary that you're going to need for windows to live on. Don't use all the

the original linux doc says that it is enough to have about 300 M for
the / and as much as u need like 2400M for /usr and about 300 M for
