Subject: Partitioning my ahrd drive for debian
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 22:38:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001c3e6e2$7e017d10$6400a8c0@LapTop> (raw)

I have a machine that I need to dule boot with debian and windows 2000.
My windows 2000 partition goes up to the 768 silindar with bios
translation enabaled. I have a computer with bios that currently does
not support booting over the 1023 silidner boot limit. My question is
this. I have read the debian install manual but if I do the following
I'm not sure how to tell it what partition to mount as what. I want to
have the following partition set up
Windows 2000 partition, currently taking up about 768 silinders. I want
a /boot directly after that. I want a / that contains all my programs,
user directorys and so on. I can create the partitions but how do I tell
debian to use the /boot to boot off of instead of just the /? Appreciate
this as the fedora install was a lot easyer, but I want to use debian
instead for other reasons.
