The best thing you can do in this situation is install Linux on it's own
partition instead of installing it behind a DOS partition. It's less work
and far less headache then the way you're attempting to do it now.
lnx4win is VERY buggy at the moment and to tell you the truth IMHO it's
the worst kind of Linux installation anyone could ever use. Even if you
did get it running you wouldn't be very happy with it cause it WILL run
slow and be quite sluggish, not to mention buggy. lnx4win, in my
experience runs worse than windows.
Actually I wish the good folks at Mandrake wouldn't even offer this type
of installation choice. This is my opinion of course, but in doing so it
makes an extremely wonderful, dependable, powerful product look like crap
and not worth the time or trouble of installation. Kind-a like shooting
one's self in the foot cause you're pissed for missing the deer you were
aiming at while hunting.
Just my humble opinion of course and its guarenteed that others will
differ on this subject.
Install Mandrake on it's own partition and I guarentee you'll fall in love
with the Penguin just like the rest of us on this list did.
