Thanks for all the dual boot advice. Now I need to partition the disk and move the Linux partition to the second partition
I am looking at the Linux Partition HOWTO (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/) and the parted manual ( http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#Introduction) I should run this off of a Knoppix CD, right? I bought the laptop with Debian installed, so I know little about it. I don't think there is much data on it and I probably don't care about keeping old data, just preserving important system files, programs, executables, etc. Is there a good way to find out where on the disk the data is written, so that you can be sure that your intended partition is empty of anything important? Is there a way to consolidate data to one area of the disk? Thanks, Mitch
