What is Linux for Windows ?

Lnx4Win stands for "Linux for Windows". It is used to install Linux on Windows partition without any partitionning step. It uses a linux image and swap file. Lnx4win installs Linux-Mandrake to an image file on a hard drive and creates a desktop shortcut that allows the user to boot from MS Windows to Mandrake. This is not a umsdos file system, but a real ext2 file system inside an image file mounted using a loopback device. Lnx4win also uses a swap file rather than a swap partition. Lnx4Win works only with new Mandrake installation procedure(DrakX).
