Greetings and salutations. I have a 8GB drive split in two equal partitions. A second 4.2GB drive slaved to the first. Win 98 is installed on the first partition and Ubuntu is installed on the slave drive. I want to install DSL on the second partition of the first drive. From what I've read I'll need to modify the bootloader and possibly the HD install procedure. My question is what would be the best way to accomplish this? I've read quite a bit and am not sure exactly what steps to take.You'll probably need to partition the second drive before running the DSL installation, or you will lose Ubuntu.
If Ubuntu is installed on ext2 or ext3, however, you could install DSL manually on the same partition.First split that to-be-dsl partition to two (swap ~64mb and DSL the rest) and format swap (mkswap /dev/hda2)
If you want a HD install, just do it, but say no to installing a bootloader (since Ubuntu already installed one). Then just add some lines to Ubuntu's grub's menu.lst..
Something like
