The only problem I can see is, that you cannot boot from the HDD (because
the BIOS does not see it or not the correct size) and you might have to boot

I am now going to set up this unit with win98 and another

Thanks to all

First time setup was a little confusing but now I've done a few it is very

If you've built it from source or something like that, you need to start
gnome-session in the GNOME 2 prefix.
