I did post a brief outline below, it should at least get him started. Pasted for your convenience, sir: "Your best bet is to boot your computer from the Mandrake 9.1 install CD and follow the easy install process, really. It's *should* be that simple. Mandrake, as you may have discovered when you installed 8.2, will not hurt your 98 install, and in fact will coexist quite peacefully. One thing to take into account is the partitioning. At that stage of the 9.1 install I would suggest choosing "keep existing partitions", then format *only* the system partition(s), *not* your /home partition, that way all your personal documents in your /home will be left untouched. There may be some minor issues with config files in your home dir being incompatible with newer software, but those issues can be easily dealt with and will not hurt your system in any way. I hope you did not take our bit of fun as mocking *you*, it was just us being goofy, and we really hope you will write back soon if you need any more assistance."
