I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that putting it in the mbr should be just fine, LILO goes, and just hands it off to NT normally as I recall. I have lilo in my MBR, and a fat c: partition, and NT actually boots out of an NTFS partition. Lilo comes up, I type dos, and am then in the NT

Funny thing being, an OS with good multitasking is a natural for something like a winmodem, doing it under win3.1 was madness. I mean, you have this fast cpu essentially doing nothing (my p133 is rarely near 50% load, even under NT), why not make a dumb modem (but with a big buffer, unlike our

Easier than that, you make a new partition somewhere, copy (preserving all the permissions) local (or what ever it is), make the entry in the /etc/fstab , delete the directory from its current location, and mount the partition as per the fstab entry. Read the appropriate man pages (fstab, cp,
