It doesn't really matter in which order you install XP and Linux. The main problem however is that Windoze tends to overwrite the boot sector with its own, so you need a way to install any boot manager that can boot Linux. I'm using mtboot, a little freeware program I found somewhere (don't ask me where, I forgot). It provides a nice menu, can hide partitions and even boot ROM images. The downside is that you need a pure DOS to install it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
