[wplug] Installing Mandrake 8.1

[R.E.Coutch]

HAHA - I know what you're up to.

You probably have a work owned laptop with a policy of no personal 
software to be installed on it.

I got one too ! You could boot from a floppy or bootable CD.

I use GRUB but I keep a copy of fdisk on hand so I can run fdisk /mbr to 
wipe out GRUB.

"The Man" has yet to notice my slightly smaller than normal Windows 
partition and the unpartitioned (according to Windows) section of hard 
drive.
I have RH9 on a Reiser partition so Windows can't tell what it is.
