I'll have to try that with some of my Windows diehard friends.  Make  
them install it (Windows) for once.  Usually  "Why do you want to  
install Windose?  And why are you asking me to help - here's a Mandrake  
Disk.." doesn't work.. but maybe I should try "Try (re)installing  
Windows yourself.. if you get stuck.. here's a Mandrake disk..." ;)
