Sorry for delayed reply, as I was on sick leave for 2 days.

You have two hard drives, LINUX'll identify these as follows:

hda (Your Master Drive, with Windows 2000 pre-installed)
hdb (Your Slave Drive, you are planning to install LINUX on this drive)

Make sure that hda is formatted with VFAT not NTFS and hdb is un-partitioned. During installation select hdb as your installation drive, create your partitions as desired, using Disk Druid(NOTE: Make sure that while creating partitions in hdb, /boot is your first partition, means /dev/hdb1 should be mounted to /boot, /boot'll contain the LINUX kernel and all files necessary to boot and some BIOSes have limit to read beyod 1028 cylenders, so its most recommended to have /boot as your first partition)

About DUAL boot:
GRUB'll take care of your boot process, therefor I suggested you that hda(Win2k) partition should be VFAT so that GRUB can recognize it and put an pointing entry to hda in its grub.conf. No need to worry about that, grub will do the necessary work for you. (If your BIOS doesn't make any trouble)

Select boot from your slave drive in your BIOS setup and enjoy the UNIX world.

Regards,
Tayyab

SYNOPSIS

       int modbus_set_slave(modbus_t *ctx, int slave);

       The modbus_set_slave() function shall set the slave number in the libmodbus context.

       The behavior depends of network and the role of the device:

	   a Modbus device must only accept message holing its slave number or the special broadcast number.

       TCP
	   The slave number is only required in TCP if the message must reach a device on a serial network. The special value MODBUS_TCP_SLAVE
	   (0xFF) can be used in TCP mode to restore the default value.

       The broadcast address is MODBUS_BROADCAST_ADDRESS. This special value must be use when you want all Modbus devices of the network receive
       the request.

RETURN VALUE

       The modbus_set_slave() function shall return 0 if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined
       below.
