A quick Question re win4lin

Hi Guys & Gals (Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to all)

I've just installed & Set-up the demo for win4lin 2 - everything went well.
I've installed and set-up win 98.
The only problem is when I try to set up the devices - IE lpt ports & game
Ports win4lin config says they are unavailable because they are "Root only"
which means I have no "lpt1" under windows.
Win4Lin says that I need to change the privileges for this device.
Can someone please inform me the easiest way to do this.
(please try to remember I am a relative newbie)


The other question I have is, I am thinking of making my Linux install a bit
more permanent because it seems to be going very well (at the moment I have
just got an old 4gig Maxtor hanging in my pc and when I want to swap OS I
just unplug one HDD and plug in my Win 98) what I want to do is make a dual
boot set-up on one drive. I've been thinking about  the promise ata66 IDE
raid cards and another HDD and set-up a RAID 0. I know they work well for
win has anyone used one under Linux & are they easy to set-up ?

Regards Matt
