I would suggest that with a new disk you use a windows boot floppy if you have one. Run fdisk, created a partition for your win95 installation, and install Then simply run the linux install, allowing it to deal with the rest of your partitioning. It's not only simpler, it's safer that way. Of course, if you find you have a good stable install, you may wish at a later date to invest in win4lin, which will allow you to run Quicken (on your existing windows license running windows inside linux). It's great to be able to work on a windows program, bobbing backwards and forwards between that and your linux apps. My email client is open all the time I'm working, and I often need Gimp while I'm using PagePlus, which is my main reason for windows. If you choose that path you will be able to get rid of the dual boot altogether and still have the functionality you need. It isn't perfect in running some of the apps that make sneaky calls, but it's surprisingly good. They offer a money-back guarantee, and their support is good. Anne
