Hi Folks
I've had a look around but I can only see options for setting up a dual
boot system from scratch. I'd like to be able to just "add" windows to this
machine....
I've got a 25gb Hdd in this machine, with linux but I'd like to put 10gb or
so aside to put Windows 98 on...
I know it's pushing it fine, but it's only for games (hangs head) so I can
play them networked...
I'm going to give CrossOffice a go for one of them....
TIA

If I recall correctly Win98 insists on installing on the first partition on
the drive, so unless partition 1 is currently unused you may have a problem.
If you can get Win98 installed, then booting from CD1 in rescue mode will get
you into Linux again so a Lilo entry can be created.

Win98 doesn't have to be on the first partition. But it does have to be
on the first FAT partition. It also needs to be a primary partition,
and not a logical partition. It also insists that it be on the first
drive, but you can fool it into thinking it is using Lilo or Grub. (You
can also play some tricks so that you can have more then one Windows
setup, by changing partition types, but that is another story...)
