I want to thank Kent and David for their help and suggestions about putting Debian on a lab computer at school.
Ghost is used at the school. Wipes out everything, as noted in the above posts to me. However, I worked hard to establish a relationship with the tech doing the work, and he said he'd be glad to create an image of the hd after I got things set up. Pretty nice guy. Don't know if Ghost will handle Linux, of course, but hey ... he was willing. (I think I even piqued his interest in Linux, FWIW!) I still have a question about the setup. Odd thing in the setup. WinNT was placed in as hda1, with a small DOS logical following (hda4? IIRC). I partitioned the rest of the disk into 5 logicals inc. swap. (Where are hda2 and 3?) I wanted to control the boot with LILO instead of a boot floppy. On installation was told LILO won't work on a logical, and should it be placed on hda2? I said yes. Also yes to Linux being default. On reboot, set up LILO with WinNT as first in the lilo.conf list. Works perfectly. Where is hda2??? is this the MBR? Is this an iffy proposition w.r.t. stability?
