I did the following: Partition 1 (4Go) --> Win'98 Partition 2 (8Mo) --> Linux /boot Partition 3 (8 Go) --> Linux / Partition 4 (200 Mo) --> Linux <swap> I used the small /boot partition to be sure that lilo can boot from there (under cylinder 1024). I partitioned the hard disk with linux fdisk, then installed Win'98 and afterwards Linux. The Problem with installing Linux first and Win'98 afterwards is, that Win overwrites the mbr and you can only boot linux with a boot-floppy. So what you have to do is installing Win'98 first (did I say that before ;-)?) and after installing linux, edit /etc/lilo.conf and add an entry other=/dev/hda1 label=win and run lilo. this will let you choose between linux and windows at boot time. Hope this helps joerg PS.: I would have translated it to french, but I have to write on a german keyboard, so: pas, accents, pas de cedilles, etc. Ce n'est pas tres joli coome ca, n'est-ce pas?
