I have a laptop with NT and RHL5.0. It came with NT. I used lilo in mbr
at first then installed MasterBooter (shareware - simple, nice, we have a
site license for it-1$/copy)
At home I have dos/win31, win95 (both rarely used anymore) and RHL
using old System Commander.
At work in an instructional computer lab I have one machine with
win 95, dos 6.22, Netware 4.11, winNTserver, RHL 5.0 and just added SCO
Unix Openserver 5 today. Others with NW411, winNTserver, RHL4.2, and SCO OS5
(all with 2-2GB drives, RHL on second drive, all others on first one.)
Using system commander deluxe. Works great.
We also have 18 machines with dos, NTworkstation, & RHL 4.2 on a 1.2 GB drive.
These all use Master Booter.
