Comment:
I have a 13.3gig HD and I currently run win98. I would like to shift to linux's os, but untill I gain experience I would like to stay with win98. I have been told that I can simultaneously have win98 and linux os on my computer at the same time by partitioning my hard drive, but I have no idea how to do this? Any info would help! Thank You

hi;
It can be done. Try here: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+Win95.html, and this: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Loadlin+Win95.html. You can use LILO boot loader, instead.
good luck
