None, if you are using FAT32 for the Windoze side. If you use the world-renowned NTFS, then you'll need to tweak your lilo.conf a bit to get LILO working. An alternative in such cases is to use grub. I have one box which runs Win2000/Red Hat6.1/Red Hat 7.1 without any problem as far as the booting goes - I use LILO. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
