Depends on which veersion of linux you have.  Many of the newer ones will
automatically do this for you.  For instance I recently set up a
win98/mandrake7.1  dual boot.  Windows was already on the puter.  I started
the mandrake cd and chose linux fo windows, this partioned my harddrive and
installed linux without touching the windows data.  Everything seems to work
fine.  I'm happy.
