Re: VWware

well there are software GUIs which are updated under windows, so the small
partition is no biggie.
also, there was something about a bootable windows disk? assuming the
installation cd, though i don't
know how i could add updated GUI's in this instance.

is this plausible?
1) install win 98 to first partition. 2) install centos to rest of the
harddrive, dual booting. 3) install vmware to linux, and run win98 in
side linux.

any sites with step-by-step success story? Pentium IV, 512Mb, 40gig.

tks in advance

You install Linux then you install VMware Server. Start VMware server and
install Windows and any other OS that you want. You don't need to do a
native Win98 install, and you don't need to create a partition for it.
VMs live in VMware files. You can share Linux directories with a Windows
VM by using SAMBA.
