I've been thinking (actually this was actually a
random thought), but is it possible to "upgrade" from
Windows9x to Linux? By that I mean the following:
Billy has a Windows9x/ME box. Billy wants to install
linux, but likes his information where it is (or just
doesn;t care for backing up his collection of 600
Frankie Yankovic MP3s), and doesn't want to reset his
settings (Billy is using his University's internet
settings). Billy grabs a new version of Linux that
says it can do an upgrade from Windows to Linux. Billy
upgrades and now has a full Linux system running, with
no Windows involved anywhere, running KDE (it just
looks more like Windows), bash,
Ext3/ReiserFS/Whatever... the works.
Is that even possible? I was thinking that MAYBE it
could be done by having the install do it one
partition at a time or something.
Again, just a random thought.
