So now you need to install the kernel source or at least
the kernel headers.

Hi, Eric:
Thxs for the help. I really appreciated it.
Guess what? I got fed up and decided to reinstall Win2K, and this time, I
partitioned my 30G drive into (approximate size):
- 1 x 10G
- 1 x 9G
- 2 x 5.5G
Installed Win2K in the 10G partition. Booted up using Linux boot disk. It
asked me if I wanted to install it in DOS/Window partitions. (I was shown
the 1 x 9G, and two 5.5G partitions to choose from). I chose to install in
one of the 5.5G partition. Installation completed, and reboot machine w/o
boot disk.
Guess what? I didn't show me the dual-boot menu option window, and went
straight to booting up Win2K. What happened?

once you get there, delete the partition to give you the free space to

yes, you bios may have a virus scanner for the boot sector.
but if your boot sector was bad, it would not have allowed windows to boot
either.
you could try doing and fdisk/mbr to see if you can boot back to windows.
then if for some reason lilo won't install...you may opt not to instlall
lilo on your mbr but boot from a floppy instead

(Terminology note: You seem to be talking about a "swap partition".
Properly, a "swap file" is a file in the filesystem used for swapping.
Swap partitions work better.)
You don't _have_ to have 256 MB of swap. Unless you are in need of a lot
of virtual memory, 133 MB will probably be fine.
Alternatively, you could set up two (or more) swap partitions.

Red Hat 7.0 ships with the so-called, never-released "gcc-2.96".
You cannot build kernels with this compiler. The preferred compiler,
egcs-1.1.2, comes in the "kgcc" package.
