If your entire HD is being used by Win98, then you will need to use FIPS to shrink that partition, if Win98 is installed on a FAT32 system, then FIPS will not work, and you will need to get Partition magic, once you have shrunk the Win98 partition enough to make enough space for Linux, begin the Linux installation and create the Linux partitions with Linux's FDISK, then format it to be EXT2 partition(the installation program does this) and continue to choose the packages you want installed and install it..Regards -- /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |Ashwin Bihari University of Massachusetts Lowell| |E-Mail: abihari@cs.uml.edu Department of Computer Science | |Primary URL: http://welcome.to/linuxresource | |Secondary URL: http://members.xoom.com/abihari | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | NOTE: The E-mail address on top has been mangled to stop Spam Bots..please | | use the address in this box for replying. | \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
