Would this work? Boot using a FC3 (or FC4?) rescue CD. Make sure /dev/hda is unmounted, then resize my filesystem to 32 gigabytes: #resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogicalVol00 32G Reduce the size of the logical volume by 5 gigabytes to 32 gigabytes: #lvreduce -L-5G /dev/VolGroup00/LogicalVol00 Create a new 5000 MB linear logical volume named Win98 in VolGroup00: #lvcreate -L5000 -nWin98 VolGroup00 Check for errors and format the newly created volume: #mkdosfs -c /dev/VolGroup00/Win98 Edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file to include a section to boot the Windows partition or the installation CD. The mapping supposedly prevents Windows from killing Linux: title Windows 98 map (hd0,0) (hd0,2) map (hd0,2) (hd0,0) rootnoverify (hd0,2) title Windows 98 CD map (hd0,0) (hd0,2) map (hd0,2) (hd0,0) chainloader (hdc)+1 Reboot the computer, select the Windows 98 CD option from the GRUB bootloader, insert the CD and install Windows 98. Reboot again and select Windows 98 from GRUB. That's the theory. It would probably work easily if my FAT32 partition was on hda3, but getting it out of the free space in the Volume Group would be twice as difficult (from my limited understanding). I am also not sure if GRUB will boot something in a Volume Group. Furthermore, I am not sure if Windows will like the fact that it's in a Volume Group.
