The correct procedure is definitely to install windows first (I can't believe I actually said that!!) I have WIN98SE for compatibility purposes which I use about 5 per cent of the time and ML8.2 which I use for the rest of my needs. I have had various flavours of windows running along with linux and I put lilo in my /boot partition and use XOSL (a nifty free graphical bootloader) available from www.xosl.org - This allows me to change settings or upgrade at any time and XOSL will immediately recognise the new OS without any real dramas. Linux is by far a better OS and I'm slowly weaning myself off my Microsoft dependency problems Graham
