My configuration is that the linux drive is the primary --snip-- I think that's only relevant if you install 98 first. I dual boot 98 and linux on my laptop, and 98 is on hda2 while linux is hda1. The 98 bootloader probably wouldn't like that, but since I'm using lilo, the 98 bootloader never comes into play. I don't know how it reacts to being on a slave drive though as I've only got a single HD. -Alex
