What I have done is similar to what Susan suggest in using LOADLIN, but I have setup a menuitem in config.sys to handle it. The line I use in the config.sys file is: shell=c:\loadlin.exe c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro This assumes my root file system is on hda6. This way when I boot I have the option presented to me. It is very much like LILO, but is all done through DOS/WIN95 utilities (when I started using linux, I was more comfortable doing it this way). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kenny Wickstrom | gnu - a new generation in s/w devel/support [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Linux - a much improved Un*x clone (847)740-4008 | Debian - a Linux distribution setting the #include <std-disclaimer> | standard for future distributions
