If I install a small (130Mb) 2nd Hard drive to my system, can I then get a
Linux installation to use this to boot from but put all the rest of the
installation onto partitions on my 20GB drive ???

Have tried to install 2 different 'flavours' of Linux so far and just get
endless 0's and 1's filling screen on reboot, apparently something to do
with an inflatable bed (LILO)

(Tried TurboLinux 6.0 and also Corel Linux)

Think u can see what I mean  :)

Thanks in advance.

Arnie
