lnx4win is still there as an option but doesn't work anymore...as you already noticed. If you want to have an easy install and not be bothered with whatever M$ previous install and have enough diskspace (2g or more) : don't even hit F1, just hit "install" let Mdk take over the whole harddisk, sit back and enjoy:o) Good luck, Harm
