No need; it's tricky stuff and deserves to plastered with "proceed with
caution" stickers. After all, we're dealing with a trojan OS called
Windows. :-)

Install lilo. What does it say? (The space on the disk where the
kernel is must me accessable f
This will tell you a little about Fdisk /MBR ( "the command rewrites the
master boot record (MBR) only, and not the entire boot record. The FDISK
/MBR command rewrites only the first 446 bytes of the master boot record,
not the partition table." ) It might not help in this case.

Cool. Since it's a bit larger than a floppy, you can put a whole root
filesystem on it if you want. I'm not sure that's a great idea, though. /dev

Hey Sally,
That is the default behavior if you put LILO on a hd partition instead
of the MBR. Kinda equivalent to saying:
LILO: linux root=/dev/hda3

I have to heartily concur with Harry here. NT and Linux will play VERY
nice together. Ive had more luck with NT-first-then-Linux installs, while
a friend of mine swears by Linux-first-then-Nt installs.
syscom is an incredible tool, if you can put your hands on it. I have an

You can also buy a program "Partition Magic" -- costly for the use, about
$70 bucks, but it can move the dos partition up by say 32Meg. Then you
can put a /boot partition in that first 32 Meg and the rest of linux can
go anywhere you like. The /boot partition can be as small as 2Meg, but
