Given that I've already got the machine set up w/Win98, I can resize the
natty partition & install 8.04. Dave apparently had grub1 installed
previously from his other linux installs (hence is menu.list file); so
maybe it's better to wipe natty, install 8.04, check the grub menu &
then install natty allowing it to install grub2. I've got another
machine like this (has 8.04, 10.04, 10.10) but it doesn't have Win98 on
it & I don't want to mess that test machine up by putting Win98 on it.
