1.  Resize the windows partition and leave blank space behind for DSL HD install
2.  Install DSL to empty partition
3.  Lilo loads by itself (thanks to most excellent scripting!!!)
4.  When you reboot you are welcomed by a Linux/Windows option selection

Did you get a reply to the question you put about making a Dual Boot installation of DSL alongside Windows?

How do I do this?

If there is already an answer somewhere in the previous posts or elsewhere on the site how do I find it?

All the best,

I just noticed the response from Brian AwPuch on the dual boot question....

But in step 1 where you resize the Windows partition - How do you
do that?  Do you fire up Windows and then run some partitioning
utility?  What utility is that?  When you install DSL into the
empty partition you made how do you identify this empty
partition???  HOw does the DSL installation find it and not
e.g. wipe out the Windows installation....??

All the best
