This sounds like fun. I'm messing with Winlinux 2000, which installs a version of Slackware to run under DOS as supplied by Win98 (NOT in a DOS box). So, installing Windoze to run under Winlinux running partially under Windows could be --- interesting. So far, it appears that the trick may be managing to patch the kernel and get it to run. So far, any attempts to patch the kernel (or recompile it) have resulted in such fun messages as "kernel panic." Fortunately, Winlinux is invoked by a desktop link that is partially controlled through a Windows-based configuration program (NOTHING like xconfigurator, etc, but it DOES set linux up enough to start up and run). The configuration program can divert linux to a different kernel image file, so it's easier than it might be to try out customized ones, even with the Windows reboot (Naptime!) in between OSs.
