To partition my drive- and How?

Oct 10, 2005 5:05AM PDT

I want to install linux, but I dont want to get rid of windows. How do I partition my drive to carry both, and how can I boot into either one?

OK, I sound clueless, but I know what I want, and I partitioned a drive once, though for the life of me I cant remember how.

If you had Suse...

It does that during the install for you. Other distros do this so it's not an issue or hard.

Compusa deal for 160GB ATA-100 hard disk for only $40 after rebates. SOunds good to me.
