[Moving to LIH]

Hi,

I am all with you. I also intend to do that - I currently have RHL 6.2 running
on a dual boot system with a partition table like this:

/dev/hda1 on /dos type vfat (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda5 on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /home type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /usr/src type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /usr type ext2 (rw)

(/dev/hda2 is swap, and /dev/hda4 is the extended partition).

I intend to ditch the /dev/hda1 Windows partition and install Debian from
the Network Computing CD. I guess it would be possible to use /boot
the same on both (are there filename collisions in RHL and Debian in
/boot?). / and /usr (as one partition, since I have already used up the
extended on my disk) I want to accommodate on the current hda1. /home
and /usr/src (and the swap space) should be common.

Any suggestions/pointers? Just start the install process and select hda1 as
the installation disk? Any possible pitfalls?
