Don't know about Ghost; you'll have to find out specifically whether Ghost supports ext2 or ext3 filesystems. >I'm also assuming that this would allow me to run WINE. Yes if you install it into RH. But note, WINE does not require, use, or even notice a Windows installation AFAIK... it's an independent thing. >Win2K will be installed first and completely setup before Red Hat.

Use GRUB as your bootloader; it can and will load your RH and W2K systems properly (mine does). When the time comes to select the bootloader, select GRUB, put it into the MBR, and select both partitions to be bootable. YOU MUST ALWAYS make a boot disk when doing this; I've had trouble a couple of times, and while you're in no real danger it is a PAIN to spend an hour or two figuring out how to boot your machine again. Make the darn boot disk, then you can throw it away once you've successfully booted into both OS's several times after a few days. -- Rodolfo J.
