Rude Bwoy: I figured that out. I know to edit config.sys not another sys.
I am sending this message to you with a cc to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - and sometimes I never see what I send as
actually appearing on the Linux newbie list.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in.

~I've been trying (desperately and apparently unsucessfully)
~to follow this thread
~
~NO!!! - it is NOT IO.SYS or MSDOS.SYS !!!
~IT IS CONFIG.SYS you must edit.
~both io.sys and msdos.sys are binaries...
~
~The config.sys you describe below may work for multibooting
~DOS and WINDOWS.
~
~loadlin.exe is a DOS executable that is run on startup as
~specified in the config.sys. It in turn LOADs LINux kernel...
~(that is specified to it as an argument) the root partiton is also
~specified as an argument... When using lodlin.exe, when you
~boot to linux, the autoexec.bat is not even read!
~
~Consequences of the previous statement are that
~DOS/WIN95/WIN98 MUST RULE the master boot record!
~
~lilo has nothing to do with this
~
~The alternate way of doing multiboot is to have linux rule the
~MBR. then AND ONLY THEN do u use lilo for multiboot.
~
~Frankly, I am mystifyed that any of what you have said below
~actually works for multibooting linux and windows.
~(Unless you use a floppy ) :)
~
~Nobody is criticizing you. as I had mentioned in an email to
~this list some time ago - there is more than 1 way to skin a
~cat. however some things are just PLAIN WRONG!!
~(Or akin to using a sledgehammer to kill an ant)
~
~ps:
~az all may have noticed, i've been compelled 2 use the queen's
~english in xplaining - az it seems that some r not proficient with
~the language - no - no appluaze plz... :)
