Dual boot W98 and Slack8, or if you dont feel like goin through the configurations go with Mandrake. Sites: www.slackware.com www.mandrake.com both are rather simple to install, but mandrake would be for more of the beginner, slackware would be for more of the elite. If you'd like to go with BSD, go with either: OpenBSD http://openbsd.org FreeBSD http://freebsd.org NetBSD http://netbsd.org But you should go with Mandrake since you want the minimal work done for you. What you'd want to do is take and configure your partitions and then install linux/bsd AFTER you have windows installed, and tell it that you'd like to install Lilo on the Super Block, and it will get evertything working for you pretty easily. -Gizmo

To burn the ISO go and check out www.ahead.de and download Nero Burning Rom, and use it as a trial, or snag a key from www.astalavista.box.sk and then reg it, and then you open the program choose fil then burn ISO image, then find your image, place a CD ion yoru CDR(w) tray and click burn, should take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the speed of your burner. After you have that done, you can either go with cd detection or bootdisks, and since its a new system i'd reccommend going with the cd detection. that route you'd tell yoru bios to boot: cd-rom/hard drive. hope i was of assistance

lol you dont do anything in windows, what you do is you insert your cd #1 in your cd rom drive, and you reboot, if your system is configured to boot from a cd it'll auto run and install whatever...
You need to have your partitions setup first though, i reccomend Partition Magic for that, but theres a lot of others, or if you dont feel like doing that and you don't have too much important data, just reformat and make a 2-3 gig partition for linux and dispence everything else everywhere...

Sorry I lost track of this post. Gizmo, can you please move this post in my forum, it is more logical that way. Hmm just POR (Point of Refrence), if you want a dual boot box, WIN and Linux, and you don't want to [censored] around with partioning yadada. Then go out and buy or d/l Linux for windows, by mandrake. Yes it is real, it makes life a bit easier. It creates a folder under windows, it has GRUB or Lilo boot up when PC boots for you to pic what to boot. It's like any other kind of mandrake version, can update yadada. It's a good starting distro. www.mandrake.com go find it and look into it.
