Well I guess we BDI distributors have been put in our place although I
suspect that is not what you intended.

Yes the howto pages are included with both versions of the BDI. Beyond
that Paul has included an index.html on the BDI 2.+ series that allows
you to gain web browser access to all of the Red Hat install software
from the CD itself. If you are using that system all you need to do is
pop the CD into the drive and click on the CD icon and you will see that
cover page. If you want to read it with that other os and it's browser
just point IE at the cdrom.

Now to the dual boot task at hand, I'd like to add one additional
suggestion. SE has a bad habit of wanting all of the drive space
available. And when it installs itself it places some essential files on
the very end of the partition so that the hard drive bloat shrinking
software doesn't work well with it.

I'd suggest that you remove one hard drive and reinstall SE. Once you
have that os where you'd like it to be, make a floppy boot disk for it.

Add the second drive and boot from the BDI cd. It will remind you that
it plans to erase all data on all disks but you do not have to believe
it.
