a rule to live by is to back up all important docs you
cannot risk losing BEFORE you start with any
partitioning and installing, especially when you're
not too familiar with what your about to start. back
it up on a zip disk, regular floppy, on another server
or whatever. one guy was right: if you're using 7.35
gb of hard drive space already with windows, use
partition magic to change your windows partion (C:
drive, or whatever) from 42.9 gb to about 10gb. then
use the rest of the space as a partition that linux
can use to partion up itself.
