dual booting windows 2000 and mandrake
 

Hi guys.

I recently acquired a copy of Mandrake Linux 8.2. My Linux experience: I used an Xwindows Linux distro in university once. Therefore, I would like to ask you how to go about installing mandrake, whilst making sure it dual boots with windows 2000 sp3.
I have five hard drive partitions: C-G, all of which are NTFS. Windows 2000 is installed on my F partition, and the boot files are on my C drive.
Now I want Mandrake installed on my G drive. Do I need to convert this partition to FAT32? (The same question for my C drive)
If i install Mandrake on my G drive, will there still be a boot manager that allows me to choose an operating system to boot from at startup?

Thank you.

Will need to format your partition for linux, not fat32
Choose the expert install, not hard. I tend to like ext3 for linux.
Could choose to put LILO on you master boot record (MBR) I have not had a problem with mine, but some peeps have.
Gives me a choice to boot to XP or Linux (Mandrake 8.1)

I assume the Mandrake setup includes a format applet?
What is LILO?

stands for LInux LOader. it is a boot loader that comes standard almost with all linux distro's..
