Google pointed me to
http://goodbye-microsoft.com/
which points to an .exe file in ~rmh's area, which runs
through a downloader and then asks for a reboot. Nice.
The dual-boot problem is solved by sticking something in
Microsoft's bootloader.
Admittedly, the devil's in the details -- how well, for
example, does it handle the partitioning problem? But
that's a clever way to introduce Linux to Microsoft users,
though one has to be a little careful lest one confuse
Debian as "just another program".
