Follow-up: RE: Linux/WinNT dual booting (an idea...)

FWIW, I went ahead and tried the loadlin deal from the DOS config.sys multi-boot and it worked flawlessly. I used the defaults from the manual.txt as examples, and copied my linux kernel from my floppy boot diskette for the boot image. The line is: shell=c:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\linux
