[Leaplist] Loading Debian

[Jim Hartley]

I have a 160GB disk, but this is what I did (this could be adjusted to 
work on a smaller disk). First I shrank Windoze to about 12GB (it had 
6GB of stuff on it so I figured twice that was OK), and let a 6GB VFAT 
Windoze "recovery" partition alone. That left me about 140GB, which 
became TWO 32GB "system" partitions, a 70GB "home" partition, and some 
sawp partitions. I did two system partitions so I could try a new system 
without disturbing my stable "use everyday" system. The home partition 
can mount on either system without too many problems, nothing 
unsurmountable.
