I use Caldera OpenLinux 2.2, and I think I might be able to help you out with that. When you first look in the manual, the tell you all about booting from the cd. This is the way I did it, and plus i didnt have to go into widows and load my hd full of crap! Ok, when the cd runs and the install starts, it will ask you if you want to do a full install on the hard drive or if you would like to make your own partitions first. choose this option. next re size your hard drive the way you lke it. make sure that you leave a small partition forr your /boot. LILO is picky about where it is. Next just choose the partitions that you would like to install to, and it will ask you if you are realy sure. make sure you are realy sure :) it does sjow you what partitions were made for linux when you did this earlier. sometimes LILO is mega picky (i mean its harsh :), and OpenLinux will boot right into windows. now this isnt about your first question, but here is how to fix it, if it does come up. boot from the yellow boot disk, and when the kernel is about to boot, hit tab. this should be done right when the caldera screen splashes up. now do this:: linux -3. now, when thats done, type in boot -lisa. this will bring you to a nice gui to to show LILO who is boss, and force it to install where you want it, and what partitions you want it to be able to boot up. just mirror the win98 partition, and that should be it realy. also install it on your MBR. its a lot easier than it sounds. sorry for this being so long jerrud
