Create your windows partition as primary, then your extentended partition. Put linux and windows second partition in your extended partition. You may want to put your boot image on the windows

so that it is within the first 1024 cylinders.
If I install Linux in the extended partition, will i be able to boot using lilo or some other boot manager tool ? and i also didn't understand what did u mean by
put your boot image on the windows partition
Do u mean to say *put boot image in the second windows partittion* ?
I am planning to install Debian Distro, for which, I believe it needs around 3-4 partitions for /usr, /bin, etc. along with the regular swap and the root partitions .. So, shud I keep all these partitions as extended partitions ? Please correct me if i'm wrong somewhere as I am not fully aware of all these concepts ..
BTW, are there any good docs regarding this topic ? I'd gone thru' man page of lilo but didn't get much explanation regarding the partitions and similar things .. Thanks again for replying
