Piece of cake. Pop in the install CD and boot the machine. Pick 
"Install". When it comes to the partition part of the install use the 
manual and set up how you want it done. Let it finish installation. 
DONE!!!!  [ OH YEAH, you have to tell it where you want Grub installed. ]

I KNOW your going to get other advice about using gparted, or something, 
to partition the disk before you start and all that stuff but I find 
that the installer partitioner [ probably gparted ] does just fine.

During the Grub installation process it looks at ALL your hard drives 
and sets everything up for you. No sweat!
