I'm dual booting WinME and Mandrake right now. I haven't payed much
attention to this thread. I just saw something about dual booting
Mandrake and WinME. If you have 2 hard drives, it's easy. Put ME on
one, and Mandrake on the other. Set the Linux drive to master, and
you're set. If you have one hard drive, just install Mandrake AFTER
windows.

Dunno. I didn't even look before overwriting the included copy of Win ME
(funny name eh?) on the new server with Mandrake. Windows blows
cheese. All that'd happen is someone would rewrite lilo/grub a little to
fix it and then it'd work again. The OS can't really tell the
difference.
