Hi, I love Linux and want to add it to my machine. But don't know how. Can anyone help ?

Problem
I have 2 hard disks. On Quantum I got XP running smoothly (and sometimes slowly too ). Now I want to install Fedora3 on the 2nd hard disk (Fujistu). I need detail instructions as I'm new to Linux.

1) How do I hook up the data cables connecting the IDE slots (there're 2) on motherboard and the hard disks ?

2) Which disk needs to be Master and which is Slave ?

3) Do I need to create a /boot partition in the linux disk ? If so, what should be its size ?

4) What should be the size of /swap partition ?

5) Where should I install GRUB bootloader into, MBR or the /, or /boot partition ?

6) AFter installation, how do I boot into the OS's ???

Please be specific to the point as I don't know much about linux and PC. Those terminologies I picked up when reading articles for similar problems. But those didn't do much good.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers,

dn
