Re: Debian Installation on a cybercafe PC

Thanks for the concern and warning though. I didn't take it
negatively. Just that I haven't seen a Linux installation corrupting
the other OS.

The worst that could happen is what? Partitions getting deleted or is
there anything else more devasting and disastrous and unrecoverable?

Regards,
Deboo

Well if you have the trust and permission of the owner, go for it! I was
only concerned with the possibility of not being to fix the MBR, which
is what I meant by not being able to restore Windows. (note I am not
questioning your abilities, just being extra precautions).

As far as USB Drive that will boot into Linux, DSL (Demo-Sized
Linux/Damn Small Linux) is a Knoppix-Based LiveCD that is 50 megabytes
in size, and is thusly very lightweight and efficient. It can also be
put on a USB drive if a computer's BIOS support booting in that way.
