I am new to the whole linux thing... and I am beginning to like it more and more. So, I have machine with windows on it. windows 98 to be exact. I want to boot to DSL, format the drive, and set it up as a shared drive so I can access it from my mac os x machines. Then just run DSL all the time. So, is this possible and how can it be done?
