Okay...
As it was pointed out in an earlier reply, you would need a
multi-OS expert, not just a Linux expert. Win98 is not as
difficult to set up as WinNT or Win2k. One reason for this might
be because Win98 uses the 'vfat' filesystem which is easier to
access than WinNT's 'ntfs' filesystem for

w2k first, linux afterwards, with LILO
Do you use the W2K boot loader or LILO? I've just setup W2K, and haven't
been able to get my lilo on another drive to load it. Of course it
insisted I remove my SuSE7.0 install before I could install W2K.
Thanks,

Put Linux on a machine, then try to install Windo$e (any flavour) as a dual
boot box.
You can't can you...
Windo$e insists that it is the only OS on the machine.. (or primary OS if
you want t get technical)
Windo$e will install fine, but it will wipe the other OS boot i

I guess maybe we are also missing another point.
Why is this Linux's fault??
Maybe it is Microsoft aversion to two operating systems that makes it so
hard (if it is).
Linux and Lilo are quite comfortable with one, two three or four (or more)
boot devices or OS's. So are other operating syste
All I have to say to this is that my 14 year old daughter installed 7.0 on a
dual boot machine (the 98 was already installed), having never installed an
operating system in her life. Except for some help with disk partitioning,
she did it without help. I tried this as an experiment to see how mu
