installing 7.1 on existing partitions
Here is my current setup
13 GB drive formatted as FAT32 and partitioned as follows:
-6 GB for 98SE
-3 GB free
-3 GB free
-about 1 GB free
partitioned the drive this way expecting it would help with installing Linux 7.1 and Win 2000. Thinking I might now use Partition Magic to combine the 3 GB partitions as one (originally planned on installing WIN 2000 on the other 3 GB).
Can I install 7.1 with no problem as my hard drive is now? Is this something that Disk Druid can take care of or should I manually do it?
Thanks,
James

sure thing, Disk Druid will set you up nicely. just choose custom install, and you can delete the two partitions ( the 3s) and then create your swap, etc etc and booom U there. I assume you already installed windows on the 6G partition.
