[NTLUG:Discuss] Further dual boot discussion

At this point it would probably be easier to use fdisk to make the
partitions and either way will work fine.

Hi again,

So far, the consensus seems to be to install Windows first, then 
Linux.  What I've done so far is fdisked and formatted using the utilities 
coming with Win98 and nothing else (it was getting really late this morning 
;), so it's not too late to use something else.  I've used Disk Druid when 
I installed RH 5.2 on my old PC, so I'm familiar with that.  Is that or 
something else (I know there are other options for fdisking the hard drive 
and setting up the partitions) what I should use to set up the 
partitions?  I don't think Disk Druid even came with the RH 7.3 although 
that's what I read from the Sam's book RHL 7.2 Unleashed with that version.

If it seems I'm being really paranoid, I probably am.  I just don't want to 
mess this up and make things worse than they already are, but I do want to 
get this set up so I can really start using Linux and learning the best way 
I can...by using it.

Also, I do believe Win98 uses a FAT32 partition...am I wrong on 
that?  Seems like that was one of M$'s big selling points for upgrading to
it.

Thanks again,

Wayne
