hi again,
i've just sent off a reply to your other post on my odd partition
scheme, it's nice to feel that people are willing to spend time helping
others make their lives simpler!
yes, win98 boots fine off the ide drive,
i understand fdisk/mbr, it's saved me on quite a few occasions, but
after losing all partition info on my ide disk once through some still
unknown circumstance (lilo from a friends redhat installation cd was
involved) i'm loathe to touch the mbr unless i really have to or i'm
ready to consider my linux installation a true replacement for win98
i.e. it does everything except run homeworld and outcast-my favourite
games and the only reason i'll keep win98 in the long run!
bascule
