What I would do is create a FAT partition on the second disk big enough
to hold the 2 .iso files. (1.3G) You will have to use a FAT partition
so that you can access it from NT. NT will not read/write a ext2
(Linux) partition, and the Linux code for NTFS file systems is not
exactly stable. It is not enabled in the RedHat kernels. After you
have Linux installed, you can reuse the partition for something else, or
use it to allow transfere between Linux and NT. (It is kind of big for
that....)
