Hi Graham, Winds##t have to be installed first (if we're talking about the 9X series 95,98,ME) because they need to write the boot sector during installation, otherwise setup won't continue.Something that won't happen when you install XP or 2000 or NT4 even, I think. Now, in the case that someone has already installed Linux and needs to install Win98,or 95 or ME he will face the following situation. When his computer boots it will boot only in Winblows. To overcome this he should ,before installing Winblows,create a floppy-boot disk from Mandrake Control Center and keep it. After the installation of Windblows is finished he should boot from the floppy and then the Linux will boot normally.Then as root in a terminal should be typed /sbin/lilo. That's it. Everytime the computer boots the Lilo welcoming screen will appear asking the user whether he wishes to boot in Linux or in Winblows.
