I had an old Linux for Dummies book that I purchased like 2 years ago but never read until now. It came with Redhat Linux 6.1 and so I loaded that onto one of my 3GB HDs. It boots fine but wanted to know if I have another HD on my PC with Win98 on it can I dual boot? How would I do that? I read in the book about copying an image file to floppy and then to copy that to the Win98 disk but when I try to do that in Linux with the "mcopy" command it tells me it can't find that command. Do I need to load it off the CD with RPM or something?
