Its simple
create a partion of around say 10 GB in Windows which is empty (as we will format it when we install linux as ext3 (as ext3 is linux file system as FAT32 or NTFS in windows ) and in linux we need to create a swap partition(which acts a virtuval RAM which is around twice to ur RAM)
then While installing linux it asks for the selection of Boot Loader -- which u have to choose as GRUB and it automatically detects ur windows and adds it to ur Boot loader which is the screen which alows u to choose to which OS u wish to enter

Hi All
I recently upgraded my Mandrake 9.1 box to Mandrake 10.0 and the 2.6 kernel. However when I execute uname -a I still get a 2.4 kernel:
Linux hostname 2.4.21-0.13mdk #1 Fri Mar 14 15:08:06 EST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
I assume this means I am still booting into a 2.4 kernel?... (1 Reply)

pdebuild-user-mode-linux
pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1) pbuilder pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)
NAME
pdebuild-user-mode-linux - pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild
SYNOPSIS
pdebuild-user-mode-linux [pdebuild-user-mode-linux options] -- [pbuilder-user-mode-linux options]
DESCRIPTION
A convenience program for pbuilder-user-mode-linux which invokes pbuilder after obtaining appropriate root privilege in a Debian source
directory. One must be inside the source tree containing the debian directory, in order to make it work.
PDEBUILD OPTIONS
--buildsourceroot [fakeroot]
The command used to gain root privilege for invoking dpkg-buildpackage
--auto-debsign
Invoke debsign at the end of pdebuild process.
--debsign-k [key-id]
Pass -k option to debsign to specify which keyid to sign.
--buildresult [Directory for build results]
The place which build result is stored.
--configfile [Extra config file to use]
The configuration file is used, but not passed on to pbuilder-user-mode-linux.
--debbuildopts [options to pass to dpkg-buildpackage]
The space-delimited list of options are passed to dpkg-buildpackage. This option appends to pbuilder option --debbuildopts and may
also be used to reset the list of options by passing the empty string.
--use-pdebuild-internal
Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean and build inside the chroot, using bind-mounts.
pdebuild-internal tries to run debian/rules clean inside the chroot. To achieve the goal, the working directory is passed on inside
the chroot, in the form of bind-mounting and debuild is run.
This option will not protect the working directory and its parent directories from the build scripts.
-- [pbuilder options]
After the -- symbol, an arbitrary number of pbuilder options can be specified. See pbuilder-user-mode-linux.1 for full list of
options.
There is an exception that --buildresult needs to be specified as pdebuild option before the -- to be effective.
FILES
/etc/pbuilderrc
The configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux.
/usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc
The default configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux.
