[techtalk] Dual Boot

2000-03-05 Thread Phil V Savoie
Hi All, Would anyone have any experience with dual booting Mandrake 6.1 and Win2K? Specifically what I'm after is the order of installs, i.e., which OS should be installed first to avoid complications? TIA, Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

Hmm... Once you locate the rpm there is sources for the rpm as well. Perhaps you could compile? Phil At 15:55 30/01/00 -0500, you wrote: >Excerpts from linuxchix: 30-Jan-100 Re: [techtalk] have you see.. by >Phil V [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Have you tried rpmfind.net? > >Well, not having an rpm ba
