For the archives
I have *no* idea if this is the best way to go about this but it worked
for me. My problem was that Windoze would touch the disk as long as
linux was in the mbr. So to fix that I just did
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
Which took awhile but then Windoze98 installed just fine so it worked at
least :)
