Correct me if I am wrong, however; if memory serves me correctly which it seldomly does, I seem to remember you were planning to dual boot a machine on which disk space wasn't exactly at a premium, so if my assumptions are correct why not just look at installing a full distro, I.E., Slackware, Debian, or Red Hat. Just a thought.

Just a thought. I was thinking of a full Debian install. If I remember correctly, Until I learn Linux commands I can then do a full install. This desktop has a 30GB HD, and my laptop has limited space. The HD on the laptop has Corel Linux 1.1 andnow needs a new screen.

You might also find it beneficial to take a listen to the Debian installation audio tutorial put together by Matt Campbell as a part of his "A Look At Linux" series which he did for ACB Radio's Main Menu. I believe there are a copy of the two files on the speakup ftp tree though you could probably find them in the ACB Radio archives at ACB Radio's web site located at: http://www.acbradio.org Hth.
