Actually, from SuSE/Win3.1 to SuSE/Win95, with apologies... :) Since I know very little about Windows (it's a wrapper for the one and only app I run on that machine) I'll impose on this learned group for advice. I must change the Windows side of my dual-boot machine to Win32, (the app must change) and a friend has graciously let me inherit his Win95 CD. The machine is a venerable old 486 which I'm sure would choke on Win98 or NT or W2000, but some have said should handle W95. I hope. It's currently partitioned: sda1 dos 460M sda2 ext2 420M / sda3 swap 128M sda4 ext2 200M /home and dual boots (dos/win default) with lilo. Nice and easy with just four primaries, first one dos, root is less than 1024 cyl, etc. I believe I can fit the new Win32 software into the current space, so theoretically, repartitioning should be unnecessary. I shouldn't need to run fdisk, either Win95's or linux's, should I? Can I just install the Win95 onto that dos partition without telling it about the other partitions, then boot to SuSE using a boot disk (better make sure I've got one of those made...) and re-run lilo to get my dual-boot back? Any changes I'll need to make to lilo.conf? I assume Win95 will reformat the dos partition, but other than wiping out its data, that shouldn't hurt anything. I should still be able to mount that partition under linux, same as before? I think some TCP/IP capability may come with Win95, which should allow me to communicate with this box even when it's in Win mode. That's a matter of studying up on Samba, isn't it? Any other gotchas I should know about, but don't know to ask? Apologies again for bringing the evil empire into discussion, but I do need to make this change quickly, and any help from the good linux folk might really speed me along. TIA, Jim
