Thanks No need to uninstall the windoze, Debian can wipe it out nicely for you (if you choose so) during the install ;) Basically all you need to do is boot from the CD (if you have the right CD, and you downloaded it correctly). The installer is pretty self-explanatory. I hope you have some good internet connection to download further software (like most of us do). One CD can contain only a fraction of all the software available in Debian and i bet some of the stuff you will want on your computer is not contained on it. A dial-up connection is not very well suited for this... You might also want to check how partitions are named in linux (you don't want to accidentally wipe the wrong partition instead of the windoze :) ) and what would be a recommended partitioning scheme. If you have no idea what i'm talking about you might want to learn more about computers before attempting this.
