I'm looking for some disk partitioning advice.  Due to some hardware
failures and subsequent "merging" of machines I want to setup Linux
(Redhat 5.2) and Windows '98 on a dual-boot system.  I've got a 6.4 GB
hard disk to do this on.  What I would like is some advice on setting up
initial partitions and such.  Things like what utility to setup the dual
(or is it duel ;) boot system, which OS do I have to install first (or
does it matter), etc.  If you have any advice please fire away.
