Depending on which Windows you are installing, it may take some thought to get it booting OK - make sure, if it's NT-based, that you understand boot.ini and you have a bootable floppy with a boot.ini editor on it just in case. But I'm running XP and debian sarge OK together with lilo as the boot loader. And I've moved my XP partitions around several disks without ever having to either reinstall anything or rewire the drives, so there's no decrease in reconfiguration flexibility. -- ....................paul Programming without a hex editor is like watchmaking without a hammer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
