Hi Can Linux and Win98 coexist on the same physical drive? How do I go about makeing this happen? Thanks Huy
Yes. If your system came preinstalled with Win98(as newer systems come with one big FAT32 partition), you'll need to do little work - otherwise it's easy if you get good Linux distribution like SuSE or Redhat. If you've never used Linux before, I suggest you to read help on the Internet at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/. You'll see a section about how Win98 and Linux can co-exist.
good luck
