I user Bootmagic as my primary boot loader, lilo as secondary boot
loader. Lilo lives in my Linux boot partition. I've never had a
problem with this setup. You'd find it a good option. To do this:
- Install Bootmagic in Windows.
- Run through RedHat installation, putting Lilo in your boot
partition.
- Re-configure Bootmagic to add the Linux partition to the menu.
All should be well.
