You don't have to wipe out Win95, but you should consider backing it up, as any repartitioning can be risky (although I have never had a problem with either fips or Partition Magic). Look in the mini HOWTO directory, which has quite a few examples: Linux+DOS+Win95+OS2 Linux+DOS+Win95 Linux+OS2+DOS Linux+Win95 Linux+WinNT Win95+Win+Linux Caution, you may find yourself using Win95 less and Linux more as time goes on. ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
