I started with a dual-boot Win98 and Linux. When I got
Win4Lin, I installed it on MDK 8.0. I _did_ have to install
my "basic tools" in Win4Lin, namely FrontPage and Photoshop.
But I setup Win4Lin to use the existing FAT32 partions on
which I store all my data. So while I have two copies of
Photoshop on my box (one in Windows, one in Win4Lin) they
both use the same FAT32 partition to which I keep all my
work.
So no, I didn't start with a clean system, and I didn't lose
any installed programs. I just had to add another copy of my
basic apps in Win4Lin.

--------- ------------------------------------------
C: Winsux C: = Win4Lin's install on Win98 in my
Linux /home directory
D: Apps D: = My real D: partition from Winsux,
Although I install apps to a dirctory
ear-marked for Win4Lin apps.
E: Docs E: = My real E: partition from Winsux.
I didn't need to put Win4Lin apps on my real D:. I just
did that because my /home partition (where Win4Lin
normally puts the Win4Lin D: drive) is almost full :-(
