Win98SE and Mandrake...

I am thinking about getting a small 10 Gig hard drive and setting it as the slave. I would like to keep Win98SE on the master and installing Mandrake on the slave so I can dual boot. Is this task fairly simple? How should I go about doing this?

its quite easy actually, just install the hard drive, you wont need to partition it even since the mandrake install will take care of it for you, and it will install a boot manager (LILO or GRUB) which will let you choose which OS to boot each time you turn on your computer...but if you want my opinion I would go with Redhat 7.2 instead of Mandrake, its just a little too sissy for my tastes.

Ok, as I said earlier I have one entire hard drive with Win98SE and another that I want Mandrake on. I booted up with Mandrake CD. How do make it partition the right drive? It says:

hda
/mnt/windows *I know that is the first drive

hdb - this is where I want it so should the first part of this be the mount point "/"? ...then the swap then the other partition?
