Bob,

    I have already done that exact same thing. Use PM (hopefully 5.0 or
better) to resize the w98 drive. Then leave the leftover space as raw disk
drive, and install Corel Linux (go ahead and let it do lilo for now). Just
don't let it take over the entire remaining disk space; I mean 4g should
be plenty. once that's done and happy, install fBSD and use it to
partition the remaining area. Yes it 'should' go that easy.

| I'd rate this job: |

I think I've been watching too many home repair shows...;)

Cheers,
Mikel
