Hi David,

If you would like some help with Partition Magic I'd be glad to answer 
any questions.

I don't know if you use or know of a program called System Commander.  
It would allow you to switch from one operating system to another.  It 
allows you to boot up in multiple operating systems on the same machine.  
You would be able to keep your old Lynux operating system just the way it 
is and add the new operating system.  You could then test with the new 
operating system to make sure everything was running fine.  With just a 
simple re-boot you're back to the old operating system just in case 
something goes wrong.  I run System Commander to boot up to four 
different operating systems - Win 3.1, '95, '95 test, NT on the same 
machine.   It's really easy.
