Interscope:
Thanks. I just love the people who help the newbies.

my linux partitions are:
/boot=100mb (its too big)
/tmp=1GB (i should have made it bigger to hold CD images)
/=20GB
swap=200MB

i still have 22GB of free space i can partition.

Er... I'm not very interested in what you use or what you can use, i'm only interested in what I should use.

i suggest using a 200MB swap, and using 2 GB for your "/" (root) partition. I installed almost everything with red hat and it came to 1.87 GB, but you obviously wont be installing all (or most) of the packages that come with it. If you intend to burn CDs you might want to make it 2.2 GB (if your like me and store 3 GB worth of cd images)

askani:
I installed an older slackware distro from the HD w/o probz. just copy them to a dir on yer win part (if you have one) or whatever part. remember to name the dir something short and simple (like mdk). then write the hd boot image from the cd or mdk site to a floppy and boot with the floppy. bam, you're all set (hopefully). if you fail it's your fault, if you're successful, i take full credit. let me know if there's anything more.
