SuSE 9.3 is the only OS I have on my system. I have two hdd's though.
I (unfortunately) need to install W98 on the second (blank/empty spare) hdd.
If I open the case and remove the main hdd from the cabling, so that if the system's restarted all the bios will see is one hdd, the 'spare', and install the W98 on that, then once it's all done hook my main hdd back up and start the system, will I be able to just go into YaST and have it find the new OS and add it to fstab?
You may not even need to open the case. If you do, whether you can simply disconnect your Linux HDD depends on how your other HDD is cabled. If your 2nd is no a slave, then it would have to be rejumpered to master for the procedure. If you have no FAT or FAT32 partitions on your Linux HDD, you should be able to create the primary that 98 requires using Linux on the 2nd HDD and have 98 install to it, without opening the case. 98 has to go on C:, which is the first visible FAT primary the 98 installer can find, regardless how the device is jumpered or cabled.
Is there an easier way than the above?
