That way you get the latest RedHat distribution with the attached cdrom and a small instruction booklet that will take you through the steps of dual booting Linux/Win98. But it's unlikley that you will get far with Linux without a good book, and by a good book I mean something more substantial than the Linux Pocketbook although it is a good start. >Finally, I have heard that it is possible to have a Win98/Linux dual >boot on the same partition - can this be achieved? Thats easy to answer - No it's not posible, both operating systems use completely different file systems.
