Yes, as long as one of the things you're running is a Linux, all you need to do is set LILO with alternate OSs. Not that I ever boot to DOS any more (Linux uptime of 59 days) but if I wanted, I'd simply reboot the computer and type DOS at the LILO prompt. There's also a newer LILO-type program called GRUB which I've never used, but which is supposedly more user friendly. -- Steve Ackman http://twoloonscoffee.com (Need green beans?) http://twovoyagers.com (glass, linux & other stuff)
