[Richard Arron]

Can reactos be installed on the same partition as
windows 98?

Would it then boot to win98 when the computer is
started or would it go straight to reactos?

Depends how you install it.

If you use the CD installer, it would install Freeloader onto your
active partition. This would ask you on boot which OS you want to
load. You can configure Freeloader, which OS to boot by default.

Alternatively you can download reactos-xx-binary.zip which does not
contain a bootloader. Unpack it into C:\ReactOS. You can boot ReactOS
by running C:\Reactos\Boot.bat. You have to be in DOS mode for this to
work. You can also create a DOS boot menu including Windoze, DOS,
ReactOS by manipulating config.sys and autoexec.bat accordingly. In
that case you don't need Freeloader.

Thanks,

Johannes

Brilliant!  Now I can replace my Win98 install that's taking up needed space.

Thanks!

Actually not.  I'm sharing my Linux drive with Win98 - it came with the PC 
(2001 vintage) after all, and occasionally have to boot into it.  I may as 
well make it do double work.
