hello, ...or, you can edit the windoze config.sys and autoexec.bat files: for editing config.sys...: [menu] menuitem=Linux, Linux menuitem=Win98, Win98 menudefault=Linux, 15 [Linux] shell=c:\linux\loadlin.exe c:\linux\linux root=/dev/hda5 ro [win98] for editing autoexec.bat...: goto %config% :win98 that's it. the only things you may need to customize, according to your system setup, are: a) make a directory in windoze called, "linux." (c:\linux) b) copy your linux kernel to that windoze "linux" directory. c) make sure the specification "hda5" in config.sys matches the actual partition where linux resides in your box. for example, if your linux system resides on /dev/hda6, make sure to have "root=/dev/hda6 ro" in the config.sys file. (no prob.) ...works fine for my boxes. (please, no flames...for such a "dishonorable" approach.) later. bentley taylor. //
