Dimitris Ioannou said onto me: ------------------------------------------------------------------ |Hi Graham, |Winds##t have to be installed first (if we're talking |about the 9X series 95,98,ME) because they need to |write the boot sector during installation, otherwise |setup won't continue.Something that won't happen when |you install XP or 2000 or NT4 even, I think. Now, in |the case that someone has already installed Linux and |needs to install Win98,or 95 or ME he will face the |following situation. When his computer boots it will |boot only in Winblows. To overcome this he should |,before installing Winblows,create a floppy-boot disk |from Mandrake Control Center and keep it. After the |installation of Windblows is finished he should boot |from the floppy and then the Linux will boot |normally.Then as root in a terminal should be typed |/sbin/lilo. That's it. Everytime the computer boots |the Lilo welcoming screen will appear asking the user |whether he wishes to boot in Linux or in Winblows. | |Cheers | |Dimitris ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dimitris, You are correct. Win**t does need to reboot before installation will continue. But, I have developed a rather-simple workaround. Please, read my previous posts on his thread. You should find it interesting.
