Sure. Install LILO in the MBR of the hard drive. ( Choose this option during installation of Debian) Install W98 first. Peruse : http://www.control-escape.com/lilo-cfg.html You may use the following in /etc/lilo.conf : boot=/dev/hdx map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 image=/vmlinuz label=debian root=/dev/hdax read-only other=/dev/hdax label=W98 Change "x" to match your setup. Run /sbin/lilo after editng /etc/lilo.conf. Cheers, -- Howard Mann Online Troubleshooting Resources: HOWTO http://www.newbielinux.com http://www.xmission.com/~howardm/t1.html
