Do you mean that if my partitions are D, G, H, then I should install Linux
to D (C, E, F is my master drive with Win98SE on C)? I could install Linux
fine, but it never boot to Linux after finishing the installation. So,
probably I should make a partition for Linux in the beginning of the HD
than the last portion of the drive....

Thanks,
