Which is correct, does this choice allow you to choose either Windows 98
and Windows XP?

 

Are you saying from the Windows bootloader you cannot boot Windows 98?
 

OK, but it will take some work...

GRUB needs to be reinstalled and both Windows 98 and Windows XP needs to
be (re)installed on primary partions (both need to be hidden from the
other).
 

This is possible but will require lots of additional work. Windows (both
Windows 98 and Windows XP) uses it's own bootloader and the switches
needed are not possible from the GRUB bootloader.
 

Show us the output of;
(for IDE) fdisk -l /dev/hda
(for SCSI) fdisk -l /dev/sda

That's the letter 'L' and not the number one in the commands above.

howto for how to install windows xp partition on a disk already with a rh 9 partition

Safest route is to create a separate partition for /boot as well as a
Grub boot-floppy, and the WinXP partition. The /boot partition can be
quite small. It will only hold the boot images for any linux upgrades.
You might also create a /data partition and symlink /home to
/data/home. Then the other linux partitions can be easily upgraded.

WinXP will over-write the MBR on installation. The Grub boot-floppy
will allow you to re-write the MBR using install. And create a boot
entry in menu.lst (grub.conf) for Windows for dual booting. Note that
you can re-create a grub boot-floppy from within grub, so make some
notes and store them in the /boot directory.

But if your laptop doesn't have a floppy it's a little more difficult
but you can do the same thing with a CD.

Fedora core 4 HD issue

I'm confused. You have a CD drive on hdc, gotcha. You have a hard drive at
hda and no other hard drive? How big and how old is this hard drive? How
fast and how old is your motherboard?

FC4 as a load balancing router

arrangements with bt.com and several other ISPs to all have a route
directly to this box with the five NICs. How do the upstream routers
know to send the packets where to reach your system? Going the other
way, where one inbound line triggers responses from three or four
outbound addresses, how is my computer supposed to know that packets
from foo.bar.btcentralplus.com are related to a request I sent to
baz.bumble.btcentralplus.com. See the problem? It takes more than
you doing stuff on your router.)

If you want more bandwidth that is available with your ADSL connection,
you're going to have to speak to a provider that can give you a (partial
or full) T3/OC-1 connection. You are talking big bux there. That 'pipe'
running down the street does not have infinite bandwidth, no matter what
the advertisements say. You can do bonding and load balancing, but that
takes the cooperation from (read that as "you have to pay") your upstream.

Not in Germany, politicians will never ever ask us about something
important, like other country do/did. There's not more then
elections every few years sou can make your mark somewhere, but
it doesn't really matter which betrayer one selects.
 
 

A little annoyance, but nothing more if you knew the exchange
rates in your head, this remains the single advantage of the
Euro in exchange many prices for things of daily usage have been
converted 1:1, even if the official course was about 1:1.95,
effectively impoverishing us. ;(

Ok, are the major and minor numbers reasonable predictable for hdi?
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/ide.txt says:

"
Primary: ide0, port 0x1f0; major=3; hda is minor=0; hdb is minor=64
Secondary: ide1, port 0x170; major=22; hdc is minor=0; hdd is minor=64
Tertiary: ide2, port 0x1e8; major=33; hde is minor=0; hdf is minor=64
Quaternary: ide3, port 0x168; major=34; hdg is minor=0; hdh is minor=64
fifth.. ide4, usually PCI, probed
sixth.. ide5, usually PCI, probed
"

Which does suggest that something different happens above hdh.

In an early iteration, I managed to get all 3 controllers working with
the on-board VIA controller in the middle {SiI680,VP_IDE,HPT370}
I installed Gentoo and Grub on a mirrored (dmraid) pair on the HPT370.
Grub would not install on hdi or /dev/mapper/hpt37x_gdfgehef.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to duplicate this arrangement since
I transplanted the motherboard into a new case. I can get
{SiI680,HPT370,VP_IDE} or {HPT370,SiI680,VP_IDE} and neither will boot
Mandrake.
