So, basically, it would be like:

-Have some unpartitioned space on a hdd in my box.
-Install debian normally in that space - making sure to install lilo
-Boot after install, and it should boot only to debian.
-Add lines to lilo.conf to add windows to boot menu.
-Live happily ever after.

That about it?
