Easy..I used to do this in a Lab.
Partition the disks, and setup Linux in this partition - You'll
probably need at least 150 odd MB for a complete linux install (+
space for the swap partition).
 
If you want you can install LILO on the mbr of the harddisk and set up
dual booting with dos/windows as the default - or you could make some
boot floppies to start linux off.......
