I had to install the win_98 first and as the bootable (FAT32) partition, as LILO would trash the NTFS boot if the xp partition was the boot partition.Sound, video, ethernet and modem all work out-of-the-box and I'm very impressed with the improvements in the installer on 9.1. I have been a fan of Mandrake since 7.0 and they keep getting better each release. Linux on laptops is possible with Mandrake 9.1 Trevor
