Hi gareth, I also run a dual boot system (because some things
[card-reader/scanner] I have been unable to get to run at present under
Linux, + I like Autoroute which I use a lot + Games n' more games)

Anyhow, when I need to reinstall windows, which doesnt take so long anyway;
I have a cd-rom copy of my Linux rescue disk (prepared earlier - aka blue
peter!) I then boot from this post W98 install to repair the lilo
configuration.  I find this works pretty well.

I hope this is of use to you.

:)

ps. I just picked up a book on Python in the County Mall, Crawley for a
fiver!  I have had a look at it and agree with others that it is a really
useful programming language.  Nice! I like the idea of being able to pass
back multiple values from a function call.
