Ok, I downloaded Linux-Mandrake 8.0 but I was wondering before I install it... how can I set up my computer to boot Windows 98 unless I use a boot disk?

when you installl Linux it will install LILO, which is a boot manager and it gives you the choice to boot to Linux or windows.
Beware - LILO should go into the master boot record of the disk, and the / partition should start BEFORE the 1024th cylinder.
Grr... I am trying to delete a partition in fdisk but it says "Cannot delete extended DOS partition while logical drives exist."
You have to delete the logical DOS drives first.
You *did* remember to back up your data, didn't you? ;)
There wasn't anything on it anyway :)
Hmm...
I formatted my computer and forgot to make a boot disk (i know i know) so now I am stuck using mandrake 8 with KDE, it's pretty good, not that different from windows, but how can I install windows 98 from linux? I tried booting from the CD (didn't work), and running setup.exe on the CD (didn't work). Do I need a windows 98 boot disk?
