Excuse the noob question here. I just did a "friendly install" of lindows on my win98 system. It appeared to go fine. When I reboot though, it just goes into win98 again. As though I need a boot manager or something. Given that lindows appeared to know what it was doing by saying it was cognizant that win98 was already there and lindows was going to be installed alongside it, I guess I figured a boot manager was being installed as well (I've never used one before).

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to boot into lindows?

I have never used lindows, but are you able to boot off the CD and use that to start lindows? If so you should be able to install either grub or lilo to your MBR.
