I've heard that win2k won't stand for LILO replacing its own MBR. The alternatives I know of are: 1) Put a boot floppy in when you want to boot Linux 2) Use XOSL http://www.xosl.org - a GPL universal bootloader that's compatible with linux and all wins. 3) I don't know if wintoes will stand for not being on the primary hard drive, but if it will then you could hook it up as secondary (something other than /dev/hdb) and let linux have your MBR. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9yqrQTJSEdOdSWd4RAh1tAJ9SrXSl5A5xWRb9gnYZQFOHe5KB3wCfXh5k hHZvRTmOiZ+YwRURtzGNOx4= =+FFp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
