On my old computer there is two partitions, C: and D:.
C: is my DOS and WINDOWS 3.1 partition (300MB).
Partition D: is 1700MB and empty.
I want to use D: as my Linux DSL partition.
How do I install it on D:?

And one more question, i have tried to boot the system with command failsafe, but my mouse doesen't work, it is a old PS/2 (Three buttons) mouse.

Run # cfdisk and see which one it is, then make a Linux partition there - you might want to create a swap as well.

I'm guessing it will probably be hda2, but you should check.
