Same here - well - not the wife part :-) , just the part about keeping
win98 - I meant that I had to make sure to format my linux partitions. I
was installing (not upgrading) over an existing 7.02 Mandrake install
when this error occurred. I ws keeping the partition configuration, so
just made sure to indicate to format the partitons.
