It seems that installing 98 after XP causes problems due to 98's |
| 24 |
bootloader being too stupid to dual boot. While *this* particular issue |
| 25 |
should not apply to you - as you have grub, installing 98 may mean that |
| 26 |
the drive numbers for XP in your grub configuration are now wrong. Some |
| 27 |
experimentation with your grub setup will be needed I suspect. Hopefully |
| 28 |
others can help with these (I use lilo). |
