Daffy,
Fyi, Unix and Linux is the same. Linux cames from one of the Unix variant. And yes you need partitions for your pc hdd. For win98 and xp it would be a normal partition but for the Linux (Unix / *nix), you should have at least one Swap Partition (size depends on your RAM Size) and one boot partiton in your Master HDD.

If you still getting confused on this matter, i strongly suggest you to visit the *nix vendors webpage and check the FAQ or Installation Guides.

I agree what LivinFree says " Not to complicate things too much, but there are Unix variants / distributions that will allow you to put a Unix filesystem on a FAT32 (win98) partition. One of them is Redhat, I believe. It's usually better to create a different partition, because it's faster and functions beter ".

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Ns_AbsoluteUrl, Ns_ParseUrl, Ns_RelativeUrl, Ns_SkipUrl - URL manipulation routines SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h" int Ns_AbsoluteUrl(Ns_DString *pds, char *url, char *baseurl) int Ns_ParseUrl(char *url, char **pprotocol, char **phost, char **pport, char **ppath, char **ptail) char * Ns_RelativeUrl(char *url, char *location) char * Ns_SkipUrl(Ns_Request *request, int n) _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Ns_AbsoluteUrl(pds, url, baseurl) Construct an URL based on baseurl but with as many parts of the incomplete url as possible. Return NS_OK or NS_ERROR. Ns_ParseUrl(url, pprotocol, phost, pport, ppath, ptail) Parse a URL into its component parts. Pointers to the protocol, host, port, path, and "tail" (last path element) will be set by ref- erence in the passed-in pointers. The passed-in url will be modified. Ns_RelativeUrl(url, location) If the url passed in is for this server, then the initial part of the URL is stripped off. e.g., on a server whose location is http://www.foo.com, Ns_RelativeUrl of "http://www.foo.com/hello" will return "/hello". Returns a pointer to the beginning of the relative url in the passed-in url, or NULL if error. Will set errno on error. Ns_SkipUrl(request, n) Return a pointer n elements into the request's url.
