Hi Eben!
Interesting that you should ask that question. When I installed Mepis 7
I got the impression that I could either install in addition to what I
had or wipe the drive and start over. My "winsperience" led me to choose
wipe and start over, but you may find that the next version of what you
are using also gives you that choice.
