Anyone know how I can have the option to boot either Windows, or Linux at start up? With countdown timer set as a default to Windows? Thanks...

It's actually quite simple to do. Linux comes with LILO which is a bootloader to do exactly what you want to do, but I need more information on your setup to tell you whaat you need to do. Either post your system info on this board and somone will let you know what to do, or you can email the info to me, and I'll get back to you.

I have a PC with Windows 98. The 20 GB hard disk is partitioned into a 10 GB C and a 10 GB D logical partition. I would like to have a dual boot capability. How do I set it up?
