It went so smoothly to the = point of being incredible; I mean that was the first ever OS I have ever = installed on my own. Now, you guess, I want to do the same thing here at home on my own = machine, and that's where my questions start: I have XP Pro on my 40-gig hd which is not partitioned, and I decided to = buy one more hd on which I want to install Linux. That 2nd hd would be a = slave, so how do I tell the debian to install itself onto that hd and to = boot up from it? Is this the best solution? I could get rid of = everything that is on the current hd and install Linux only, but in that = case, will linux support scanner on which I depend so much? I need to get this done asap! Bytheway, is there anybody willing to sell a hardware dec talk synth? Many thanks in advance! Ned
