How to Run Linux and Windows on the Same
Computer
If you want to keep Windows 95, 98 or ME on your computer
but also want to run Linux, here are several ways to do it.
Start with Partition Magic/Boot Magic, see http://powerquest.com to get this powerful
software.Use it to move your Windows into one partition and set
up a second partition for Linux.
Then get SuSE
Linux. It has options to set up partitions within the partition
you set aside for Linux so as to make it run better (for example,
by setting up a swap file for better memory management). Then
when you install it, you get the option of either creating a
boot floppy or writing to the master boot record. Either way
will work.
If you write to the master boot record, it will boot up in
Linux but has an option you cna click to reboot into Windows.
If you choose the boot floppy option, you have to set your computer
to boot from the floppy drive.
Usually computers are already set to boot from the floppy
if you have one in the drive when you power up or reboot. If
not, while the computer is starting up, hit the del key to get
into setup. Exactly what you do after this will depend on the
motherboard you have.
