Thanks to everyone who coached me on this during my adventures following the "destruction" of the MBR.
I ended up reinstalling Corel Linux, which again gave me a lilo in the MBR capable of booting either Corel Linux or Windows (actually NT's boot manager which allows me to select either NT or 98). I then installed Debian Linux to my slave drive and made its one partition (not counting the swap) bootable, but selecting "boot from floppy" to avoid screwing up the MBR. Then I booted Corel Linux, mounted the Debian Linux partition and added Debian Linux to Corel Linux's lilo menu. I now have access to all of my OSes, and even though it's not quite as convenient as a single menu to everything, I'm inclined to leave well enough alone. <g> I might add that the Debian Linux install went very well, but only because I had been advised to buy McCarty's _Learning Debian GNU/Linux_. I followed his procedure with the exception of choosing the Basic install. I think I selected Dialup instead, because its description sounded more like me. Entering startx just generated an error which sounded like the X setup didn't get saved or something. I'm going to do some more studying of the situation before I cry for help on this.
