First: I am considering doing a dual boot system with Linux and Win98 or setting up a file server with Linux as the OS. If I do a dual boot system, how hard will it be to return the Linux partition to Win98 -- to reclaim it overall? Will the entire hard drive have to be reformatted? Second: Stupid question, but gotta ask it. Will WordPerfect files created with WordPerfect for Linux be readable by the WordPerfect written for Win98 and NT? I recall that early versions of some software (back in the early Mac and PC days) would not be readable on non-like systems even though a given file would still have the same file extension. Thanks in advance.
