Damian: Having absolutely no experience with Lin4Win, I skipped responding to the original post. However, spurred on by your comment, I did some research at www.linux-mandrake.com, google and my old LM manuals, and found: 1. lnx4win was offered with the 7.x distributions, but it seems to have disappeared from sight since then. 2. IIRC, there was very little traffic about it on this list. 3. lnx4win was slower than many glaciers. 4. Lots of installation and configuration problems were noted on google. (It is possible that these were not the fault of lnx4win, but typical windows-newbie-migrant stuff.) Conclusion: lnx4win was either (a) the answer to a question that no one asked, or (b) didn't work very well. My advice to the original poster is to bite the bullet, repartition your HD to make some space for a real Mandrake install, and give it a try. It's not that hard, and the rewards are great. If there really is some compelling reason for installing lnx4win, you might find some clues in the 7.x user manuals -- see: www.linux-mandrake.com/en/doc/72/en/usr.html -- cmg
