Hello everyone, I am trying to prepare to setup a dualboot sys. I hav win98. Partitioned 20GB in half. Win98 is running on half the hdd. Now I bought a bk no sale on 'How to use Linux' which includes Caldera OpenLinux v1.3 software. What is the opinion of u gurus on installing OpenLinux v1.3 to learn? And will this ver of Linux work alright in a dual bootup setting alongside win98? How do I setup and use the part of the hdd I hav set aside to learn about unix through linux and such? My system is madeup of a Mobo SY-6BA+IV, PII 350MHz,Maxtor Hdd 20GB ATA66 7200RPM, IOMagic CDRom 42X, IOMagic Video TNT2 32MB AGP Graphics Accelerator, CreativeLab Modem Blaster Flash 56 ISA,Ensonique DCS817 PCI Sound Crd, Plex CDRW 8/4/32. Any suggestions will be greatly apprecited.
Thank you all
