Subject: Should I upgrade to Win98/FAT32 partitions?

I have a new 15.3Gb harddrive now, but I have Windows 95, problem being that it
has dual booting and it's the older version that only uses FAT16 partitions, so
because they can only be used up till a certain sector of the HD, there's whole
big areas of my new HD that will be unusable.

So I've been avoiding upgrading to Win98 because I'm told that I would no longer
be able to dual boot into the old Dos 6.22,  but now doing the upgrade would
allow me to use FAT32 partitions so I could use the whole HD.

Are there any reasons why I shouldn't do the upgrade?  Does anyone know id Linux
can be installed in a FAT32 partition, and can I install a Linux partition
inside a FAT32 partition?

Thanks

Pete
