I went and looked at the XOSL online manual ... it was mainly concerned with its primary function as boot loader and didn't mention its partition tool that I could see. I guess when I install it I will just get to its partition tool and I'll be able to figure it out from there.... Will I have to go on and use its boot loader once I straighten up the partition table? (I'm guessing I can just cancel out / reboot and go back to my Mandrake/lilo install ...) Am I right in assuming once I correct the boot sector/partition table I will have to reformat and reload the existing primary partition windows 98? Thanks for your advice.
