Does this OS support dual-boot with Windows 98SE, in the same way Windows NT 4 does??? James Goodman

Yes - in fact, you could multi-boot between Win9.x, NT4, W2k and Linux, without using any third-part utilities, if you chose :)

Just install Windows 9.x first, and the other OSes in the order I listed them (as applicable). Don't let NT or W2k upgrade your existing O/S, thought!

Hope this helps
 

Yes, citrixengineer is very right.

u have to take care of the order u install ur os.

WIn98->winNt->win2K->linux

if u don't follow these orders...I am sure none of the os after installing would work properly.


cheers!!!

I have done it, & it does work. You need to install Win2000 last on all operating systems except Win98, whereby either can be installed first. I still chose to install Win98 first... James Goodman

a rule of thumb is to install the dumbest operating system first, and then work up to the most intelligent.... unfortunately deciding which is the dumbest is very much a matter of opinion... I did Win98, Win2000, Linux on my PC in that order and it works great... :eek:)
