Ok, folks I am getting serious. What are te gnerally reccomendations from
personal experience on dual-boot installations. I have the 4.2BSD disk already
(not linux I know).I wan to be able to not wreck anything. Want to divide my 14
gig hard disk in half  so I can reun both COREL and gimp and all the weird things
I have gotten use too.

I am in the middle of nowhere techno-land wise, and can expect little help. And I
want my email in tact. So which is easioest to install and get going. ANd if
anyone know how use the true trype fonts. That would be great. I can handle the
microsoft waorld but hate it;'s special formats, and it's nasty habit of "So
transparent" as "well you installed X with the wise installatin wizard and
suddenly things are changed around.

Any pointers even by meail would be appreciated.

have Fun,
Sends Steve
