You can use the nt loader to boot linux, is that what you're talking about? If so, do this: install lilo to your /boot partition - say /dev/hda6 just for kicks. Now do dd if=/dev/hda6 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Now mv bootsect.lnx to your windows boot partition - C? Append the following to the bottom of your boot.ini: c:\bootsect.lnx="Mandrake the best OS in the world - why am I dual booting?" You should be able to select linux from the boot menu now.
