I have a 120GB HDD on a 2.4C, 1gig ddr400, ati 9600 pro system.

I just put it together this week and been having sum problems with XP Pro SP1 so i want to put multiple OS's on it.
I have it partitioned 30gig for xp and the rest for downloads/media. I'll clear that up if i have to.

So i want win98, Lindows, and XP pro sp1 on my system (i'm gonna have mandrake later this year for my school so how should i prepare for that)


Pleae help, thanks
 
You partition the drive either before installing anything or when installing the different os's, start with W98, then XP and last Linux... remember how much disk space you want to use for each so you don't eat it all up before everything is installed...

One question, if you are going to keep Windows, then why on earth do you want to run Lindows? Get yourself a better and cheaper distro, most distros can be downloaded for free...

I would recommend Mandrake as that is what your school will be running...

No, it's a damn shame that people want to try other OS's than MS's...

Lindows is not a bad OS, it is not top 1337 choice but it tries to make it easier for the average Windows user to use a Linux based OS which i think is an excellent idea, i don't know how many windows users that tried other Linux distros just to repartition that Linux space right back to Windows...

Lindows has it's place in the OS world, just like Slack and XP does...
 
okay, i have mandrake, 98, and xp ready for install....im puttin in 98 right now....i have partition magic on my other PC....any one wanna give me some special instructions😉
