Boot record

[Mark Phillips]

Since I just went through this exercise, the minimum needed for Linux is 2 
partitions - / and swap. I recommend PartionMagic - it did a great job of 
adding the Linux partitions to a hard drive with Win2K installed. After 
partitioning the drive, I inserted the installation CD for Linux and in a 
few minutes had a dual boot system. Easy, fast, and simple.

Your right.  I always forget about the three slices in linux, plus one for
/home.  Should he have one for /boot?
