distribution HOWTO

Hi all, I just had a peek at the linux distribution HOWTO at http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Distribution-HOWTO.html. The debian entry is about debian 1.3 and last updated 13 March 1997. Wouldn't it be a good idea that someone sent the maintainer a little something about the 2.0 beta? Also,

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

1998-07-03 Thread Dennis Dai
My experience is: install NT first, then install Linux, run LILO to modify MBR (add a dos option as usual). After reboot, I got LILO prompt first. If I select dos, NT boot loader came up, there you can select NT or win95. This is quite different from what has been described in those mini HOWTOs.
