Hi Folks

I have finally got my mitts on a replacement 80gb Hdd for this linux machine, 
MDK10.

However, before I splash ahead I'd like some advice and stuff

1. It's going to be dual boot so I'd need to install the Win98se first (in a 
20gb partition) and then install Mdk telling it to leave the 98 partition 
right? This will assume that Mdk will sort it's own partitions up right. I'd 
like to keep the personal files on another partition, is that feasable or is 
it worth just leaving MDK to get on with it!

2. Samba. Assuming I want to have a samba shared area do I need to create that 
as a seperate drive??

3. For keeping all my mail folders and everything is it OK to install the new 
OS then move the info from the old hard drive to the right place on the new 
hard drive?? Or do I have to do something else.  I know when I last backed up 
the mail folders k3b changed all the dots to underscores :(  Windows had 
problems recognising some files and that went a bit haywire for a bit.

4. is there anything else anyone here things I should do before the transfer??

Cheers, Elwyn

Awaiting your help before I proceed :)
