Your friend will have the chance to do this when installing it. I think W98 and W2K need to be in primary partitions and will thus be hidden from each other. As for Linux, it doesn't matter. I would _not_ put it in a primary partition on your system. Grub will handle making the right partition active. -- Cheers John. Please, no off-list mail. You will fall foul of my spam treatment.
