None that I can think of; to lilo, they are all the same crap. Using NT's boot loader (or OS/2's, etc) with lilo is another story. There are HOWTOs on many variations and combinations thereof. Things to remember: It probably won't work without a small (15 megs or so) /boot partition as the first partition on one drive. Lilo *has* to find the kernel below the 1024th cylinder (which can be a nebulous place on large SCSI drives). If you roll your own kernel, and you modularize the SCSI or IDE drivers, then you *have* to use mkinitrd (see man mkinitrd). Always make a bootdisk that reflects your setup (see man mkbootdisk). And try to find a rescue image that works... Windoze *has* to boot from the first harddisk (SCSI ID 0 or primary IDE master, which would be /dev/sda or /dev/hda) but Linux can boot from either one (or a floppy, which I've actually had to resort to). If it were me, I'd boot windoze from the 4 gig drive (as master or ID 0) and put Linux on the 20 gig (and perhaps give up a smallish partition to windoze), with a /boot partition (sdb1 or hdb1) and lilo installed to the MBR on the first drive. The other partitions are up to you... If you have to boot both from the first drive, then run the Linux install and create the /boot partition, then reboot and install windoze (and make sure it works, such as it is). Then run the Linux install again and finish partitioning, etc. Otherwise, just install windoze first. If not, windoze setup will wipe lilo right off the MBR and it's boot disk time again. You should be good to go :) Steve -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
