Nope ... loadlin runs in Win-2k just like in Win-9x. There was
a long thread on this in the debian-user group some time ago.
Afterall, loadlin is merely a pure MS-DOS program which loads
linux operating system from a primary or UMSDOS partition,
and that is UNIQUE! The only creavat is that, it should have
all the memory available to pass on to the chained OS. That is
why it should be fired from config.sys preferentially, or from
pure non GUI DOS prompt boot.
Win 2k can boot in pure DOS mode ... can't it ?
