    creating linux.bat?

    It's been a long time since I did this, but what it involves is using the loadlin.exe program in the DOS batch file. I think you copy your linux kernel to the DOS partition. It is usually symlinked to /boot/vmlinuz, so just copy this file there. It may be different on RedHat. You also need to know the devicename of your root partition. In DOS, you just run loadlin.exe, and give it the kernel filename, and device name of the root partition in UNIX format of course. Better yet, don't follow my sketchy instructions. Read the loadlin howto at: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/mini/Loadlin+Win95-98-ME.html

    about a window manager called mwm

    mwm is the Motif Window Manager. Traditionally it has always been a commercial product you had to buy. However, lesstif is an opensource implementation of Motif. The lesstif package includes a mwm clone as well. I don't use RedHat, so I'm not sure if it is installed by default. I'm sure it's on RedHat's CD's though, so just install it with rpm, and mwm should be available. mwm is a bit antiquated, though. Unless you absolutely need it, I would suggest using a more modern one such as kde, gnome, icewm, etc.
