You never said what you inteneded to do with the Linux software. I assume you
want to create a partition on your Windows 98 drive to make room for a Linux
install. I did this myself. Yes, I sweated it for a bit but it all came out
okay. I use a floppy to boot into Linux instead of using LILO to dual-boot.
If your entire hard disk is currently in use for Windows 98 then need to creat a
partition for Linux. I used a program, which eludes me, that did this. I did
the following:
1. Deleted my Windows 98 swap file.
2. Ran Windows scandisk and defrag.
3. Ran the DOS utility to create a 500MB partition
4. Boot back in to Windows 98 and re-enabled my swap file.
5. Popped in the Linux CD and ran the install on to my new partition
Bingo!
