Warning: this will wipe your linux bootloader (GruB or LiLo - I'm not sure which one knoppix uses), so you will have to install it, you might want to create a boot floppy for knoppix before you install windows. INSTRUCTIONS on how to get GrUb back after installing windows. __________________ Registered Linux User #371543! Get force-get May The Source Be With You /dev/null /dev/null2

Yeah. Create the partition for Windows 95, install it. Then you either use the LiveCD or bootdisk to boot up Knoppix again and run Grub or Lilo.
