Yello, I have just installed mandrake 8.1 but still need a few of those windows only programs. I would like to know how to make a daul boot system. I put in my windows 98 SE CD, not the upgrade, and i went about half weay through it wen it froze up. I tried to install windows a few more times but it wouldnt work. I need to know wat i have to do. I will reinstall linux if i need to, i havnt got a lot on it. YET MUHAMUHAHAHA

One of the major limitation of Win9X is that it thinks it's the only OS you would ever install on the system. So you can't really install it after another os is installed. Well not without major trickery. Your best options are to either install Windows 98 first and then linux. Or install a version of windows which does support being installed in a different location. Like WinNT, Win2K or WinXP.
