Hi
Don't know if this is the best way or not but its how I do it (I use RedHat
dstro)
1: boot from the Linux cd & create a 17 meg partion Label= /boot
2: create /swap partion typically 2x amount of ram
3: create / partion in your case 3.5 gig
4: finish linux install
5: boot from dos boot floppy with fdisk & format on it & create your 2.5 dos
partion
6: install windoze

Have fun
