[TriLUG] RH9 Dual Boot with Win98

[Ian Meyer]

Hello everyone. Here's what I've got. My mom has a very tempermental PC 
running Windoze98, and I happen to have a spare Hard Drive laying 
around. The HD is out of my iMac, but its a standard ATA66 IDE hard 
drive, but with two HFS+ partitions on it. Can I format it with the RH9 
installer and then install RH9 on it?

What I want to do past that is leave in her existing HD and use it for 
just Windows (because she'll still be booting into it from time to time 
for some apps that she needs) and have the RH on the other drive and 
dual boot. I was thinking that it would be easiest to make the "new" 
hard drive the master and put the boot loader and stuff on it, and make 
the windows drive the slave, would that work?

Is there anything else I need to know before I start doing this?

TIA
