I have a 6 GB HD (Laptop) and I want to dual boot Linux and Win2K. I have a fresh disk to
install on so I don't have to save any data.

What's the best way to go about doing this? Which OS should I install first and how should
I set up the partitions. I want about 2.5 GB for Windoze and 3.5 for Linux. I do have
Partition Magic.

Thanx
