Can be done very easily. Select advanced install tell it to install to d when
it asks you for the fdisk command say nope, I would however format it to HPFS
less hassles that way, no defrag ever needed unless over 80% full.

LP> What would would be the best way to install it?

the CD should be no problem.

Look in hobbes.nmsu.edu you should be able to find a wealth of stuff in there.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
We are a fine board trying to make it better.
