Hi,
I think I have a better and easier way to have windows and RedHat in the
same HD.
First, you have to install the windows, and then install the Redhat. After
finishing the RedHat installation, you must MAKE a bootable disk for RedHat.
Then boot your comuter with the floppy disk, change something in your lilo
like:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
default=rtlinux
image=/boot/rtlImage30
label=rtlinux
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
image=/boot/linuxImage2218
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux2216
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
then run the lilo.
There are something in the lilo you have to change:
1. delete linear and addin lba32 if you HD is big.
2. addin
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
3. run lilo
Then reboot your computer you can get 2 selection of which OS you want to
boot first.
I can not find the e-mail address of manas, if you think this way is
correct, please send this e-mail to him too.
thanks in advance
Hai Xu
