Dual Boot

I was just wondering is there any good web sites for explaining how to create a dual boot system under Windows 98 thanks Stephen ;P

I used to run Debian and W98. You have to install Windows first since it doesn't like to play with other operating systems. Real pain in the ass since I needed to re-install it on a farily regular basis... :-(

The SuSE Linux manuals describe how to do this. Unlike Windows, the product ships with detailed documentation, rather than requiring you to spend hundred$ to buy the information that should be provided with the product. When you install it on a drive that already has Windows installed it will detect the previous installation and offer to install itself in a separate partition. Since I haven't done so yet, I don't know how it will do this without damaging the existing installation... the docs probably give some help there. When I get around to doing this, I plan to have a second drive in the system dedicated just to Linux. The installation will, however, install a MBR that halts the boot process and offers you a choice of which OS to load. For that reason, it's important that Windows (and any other OS you have on the system) be installed first. I strongly recommend reading the documentation thoroughly before you begin as there are many configuration options to consider that don't come up when installing Windows.

Just make sure each install has its own partition, or they will write over each other's Program Files dirs. --Mike-- "Adventure. Excitement.
