[Leaplist] Installing Mepis

[Jim Hartley]

Just a word of caution - the partitions are USUALLY numbered starting at 
ONE, but there are a few programs around that number them starting at 
ZERO (I think GRUB does that, but who knows what else). I don't remember 
how PartEd/GPartEd  numbers stuff.

If Mepis is a LiveCD, or you have some other LiveCD around, boot it and 
run FDISK to see what you really have, and what is where. With a little 
careful poking around you may be able to figure it out.

Of course, personally, I don't think clobbering the Windoze partition 
with Linux is all that bad ... :-)
