thanks for the advice

I'm going to go ahead and delete my windows partition using cfdisk, then install slackware10 and just have windows on my other computer. I have a windows 95 disk somewhere, so, if I want to later install windows 2000, I should be ok. If I have problems with windows trying to take over my entire hardrive, I'll come here for help : )

I'm going to install linux now btw, so expect some more cries for help later on today. I'll be x-posting them in slackware too.
