Defrag your Win98 Hard Drive (Do not tick the box to 'speed up access') In your BIOS (usually accessed by hitting 'Del' during booting) Configure BIOS to Boot from CD as first boot device Reboot With Mandrake CD1 in the drive. Follow the on screen instructions Mandrake will resize your Win98 partition, create Linux partitions, install a gazillion Applications, and set up your computer to dual boot Linux and Windows. It really is quite simple. A lot easier than installing Windows IMO On line manuals can be found here :- http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/fdoc.php3 Have Fun derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
