I did it recently with Mandrake 8.1. It appears much easier than it was before.
1) Download 3 CD images from mandrake. Create 3 CDs from them. You will
need the first 2 for installation.
2) I repartitioned my HD so I can have 3GB for Linux. You need to create 2
Linux partitions: one ext2, one swap. Depending on the total memory you
have, give swap 500MB or so. Some say twice of your physical memory; some
say it's not necessary to have too much if you have a lot memory.
3) Boot with Mandrake CD.
4) Follow the steps, it should find your linux partitions fine. There are a
few options, workstations, web servers, etc.. Choose everything, the total
space required is a little over 1GB.
5) You have 2 options for dual boot, one is to have it on your C:\ or have
it on floppy. I chose the latter. If I put the floppy in, it will boot to
Linux. If not, it boot to Windows.
That's my experience so far. I have not used much.
