If I may add to that, when you use the Lnx4Win to install on any Windows
system you are not installing on a partitioned area. It is piggy backed
on the Windows and if you have a crash on Windows and have to
reinstall....guess what? Right, Linux will need to be reinstalled as
well. Plus that install is very ssslllloooowwww in responding to what
you want to do. I did about 9 installs on my Win98 system using the
PQPTMagic (Power Quest) and I cannot say enough GOOD things for that
software. It performed Excelently and the best and easiest to work with
is "lilo" (LInux LOader). Have fun...

But now I know that what I thought I knew
Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
