If I wanted to use Win 98 again, I coud format HD again and reinstall it.

Perhaps I will use Linux for other things in future as well, but I am not
interested now, because it would take a lot of time to learn them. So, it
would be enough for me to post to NGs and e-mail when I do not use webmail.

I do not need Linux run quickly, on the other hand the fact that I have
little space on the HD suggests that it is better not to use a dual boot,
does it not?

Where are they?
Is there a chance to get them on CD?
