Re: win98 on top of linux - consequences?



win98 is a pretty stupid OS, provided you make your partition beforehand
to install win98 to there is pretty much nothing it can do to hurt
linux.  HOWEVER it can remove lilo(and usually does) so keep a rescue disk
handy if you use lilo to reinstall once win98 overwrites the bootsector.

but win98 will not come near an ext2 partition. any partition that is not
fat16/fat32 will be ignored.
