My system here has two Linux installs and Windows 2000 on it, runs grub, and has been fine. Only thing I found necessary is that I had to install Win 2k first, and be careful about the space it has available to it. To acheive that, I first partitioned the drive space using a DOS boot disk, then installed W2K, then started installing Linux. This works fine if you are installing only (1) linux system and W2K. Multiple linux installs fall foul of a problem with the Red Hat install scripts, where the second linux install gets a stanza in grub.conf that is appropriate for a windows system, not a linux system. I had to manually edit the grub.conf file to make it all work. Another alternative is to use Partition Magic/Boot Magic, which I've used with good success in the past. rickf -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
