I just meant that with earlier windows (and their habit of playing around with the MBR if you upgraded, etc) I found it easier to let windows have the MBR and put Lilo elsewhere. Then I would just mark the Lilo partition as the bootable one.
I merely found it easier to fit Lilo/Linux into the windows way rather than trying to keep windows from messing up with the Lilo installation. IIRC it was only an issue when upgrading, or installing. > Adam > -- Chris Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux --- The best things in life are free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
