I've got a few questions about installing Linux on a second hard drive. 1. I would like to install Debbian. Should I go for the 3.0 release or is there a newer release out there? 2. When I get to the point where I'm gonna install lilo, do I want to install it on the MBR of the master HD? To me this would make complete sense. Other wise, how does the system know to look to the second HD, not the first where my windows 2000 installation is? Last but not least 3. What is the line I want to add to lilo.conf that will give me my Windows 2000 as a choice on the initial boot-up menu? Any answers to these would be greatly appreciated, as I plan on doin' the install over the weekend and comin' back into the world of Linux. Thanks, Guy
