I am new to Linux, and would like some help configuring Linux to run on 
my system.  I have a Swan 486DX2-50, direct bus SVGA video, 3.5HD and 
5.25HD floppies, 120MB HD (MSDOS), 120MB HD (soon to be Linux, I hope), 
and an internal tape drive.

I'd like to discuss the proper installation of Linux for this system, and
I'd like as much 'hand-holding' as one might be willing to provide.  I have
read over the installation instructions that I've been able to find at 
distribution sites, but have been unable to find out how to install Linux
to an additional HD as I have here.  (The installation info I've seen always
assumes you're putting Linux onto a single HD with multiple partitions).

I would appreciate all the help I can get.  :)
