Hey, everybody!

    Last night, I completed my first dual-boot installation! When I had
asked about it before, the answer has basically been, oh, it's easy.
Well, I'm here to tell you that the first time setting up a dual-boot
XP/Debian is not easy. It will be a whole lot easier next time, that's
for sure! This computer that I worked on all day yesterday is my
brother's. He needs some M$ Office stuff, but still wants Linux. So, I
decided to just figure out how to do it. One thing that I have noticed,
though, is that I cannot see one filesystem with the other one. This
concerns me since that was part of the point of setting it up as a
dual-boot is so that he could play with documents on either side of the
coin and still save them in the same place. How do I do this? Am I
destine to reinstall again, or can I simply slip another carefully
formatted partition in somewhere? Any and all help welcome. Thank you!
