Happy Chrismukkah, everyone.

I've given the LiveCD version a go, and want to install to HD.  It seems like a sensible solution to getting my ancient machine, currently running (barely!) a highly corrupted version of Win98 to talk my new iPod (No '98 support from iTunes)

So...I currently have a 20GB disk, which is my 98 install, set to Master.  C: in Windows-speak, hda1 in DSL.  I don't really want to move the data from there.  I'd much rather my smaller, 4GB drive (D: / hdd1), currently with its jumpers set to Slave.

Can I just follow the cfdisk partitioning instructions, substituting 'hdd1' for 'hda1'?  Can I tell Lilo to install to hdd1?  Will I have to phtsically reset hdd1 to slave.

(Non-techie answers aprecciated.  I'm new at this game)

You can find quite a bit of help searching the forum.  I had to move my WIndows drive to the slave position, then install DSL on the new master.  Then have to 'fool' Windows into thinking that it's still the Master drive.  The problem I had was I couldn't get past the windows bootloader on the master drive.  Here's a link to my notes, there are other successful approaches:
