Any tips on doing this so I don't inadvertantly kill my Win2K > server? I've asked around and it seems that Linux has a tendency to do that. You got it mixed up. If you are refering to the boot loader issue, AFAIK all linux distributions will ask you first if you will allow them to install its bootloader in the MBR. Linux distros are not like WinXX which will not even ask you if you want to do it or not. Thus if you have other OSes in your drive you can temporarily not access them. But with Linux distros, if you know how to set the proper boot loader configurations it will allow you to multi-boot without a hitch. > Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :) Tip you will need to virtually remap or switch your hard drives as the primary master drive. You can download my presentation on Linux at http://www2/mozcom.com/~hhao/ and read the Grub as bootloader part. Goodluck. Holden _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
