5) yes , you could dual boot if u want also

Thanks
K3B is included :-)
Installation is not graphical :-(


How exactly can I revert back to FAT is it by a Win 98 boot floppy or FDisk or what???

You can't without formatting your hard drive and destroying all data on that partiton (presumed ntfs) look im downloading the yoper ISO now, and my windows partition is ntfs, it should still detect it at grub/lilo whatever. Im giving it a try, and if it doesnt work i just reinstall suse's bootloader.

you can reinstall windows any time, but if you want to dual boot windows, its usually better to install windows first on 1/2 your hard-drive, then install linux with lilo (if you're using yoper) or grub. linux boot-loaders detect win and automatically give you a dual-boot option, whereas, microsoft products do not play well with others (they will make it difficult to dual boot if installed last-you would have to reinstall the boot loader...not too hard, but more than most want to do when first starting out).

so yes, you can reinstall WIN anytime, but to dual boot, install win, then lin
good luck

you might try a distro like mandrake if you can't get yoper working... it is very user friendly, as is Suse. they are excellent starting points.
