>Does anyone know of a web site that explains (for dummies) loading Linux onto a large hd (30 Gigs) with windows 2000 already loaded on the first 20 gigs?

I can walk you through it if you'd like. The only thing I don't remember how to do is edit Win2k's boot loader to boot Linux. You can use lilo instead, but it doesn't work on partitions past the 1024th sector. Or you can use Boot Magic, or the BeOS boot loader.
