Thanks for the tip Baloo!

Okay, dman. I know that you're right. Re-install XP, creating
partitions for Debian too......But----.
1) A- I was planning on setting the BIOS to Standard VGA,
because I'm worried about Linux being able to cope with my Integrated
Intel Graphics card.
B- Was going to disable Integrated Winmodem in BIOS and
use external one
2) With XP on the first partition, where am I going to put Linux Boot?
Sure, I have LBA, but don't know how to use it.
3) So now I have PS2 KB. What will XP think? And thanks for
straightening me out there........
Gratefully Yours,
Bruce<+>
