During the installation of Win2000 you can use the advanced option and
choose to which partition it is installed.
Reguardless of where you install Win2000 it will overwrite LILO.
Futhermore, I for 1 do not reccommend using LILO as a bootloader with
Win2000.
If you are not also using a distro such as Mandrake which includes GRUB I
would use a commercial bootloader such as SystemCommander or BootMagic.

Hmmm.
So the windoze installer will recognize the partitions, when established
with PM, as the *proper* size? I've never used it, so I'm not sure of
its capabilities. Or am I constrained to installing windoze first, then
resizing? The reason I ask is that I will probably need to install
windoze2000 for a job I'm looking at, and would like to be able to make
use of the configured drive without having to start from scratch.
Please excuse my ignorance of LBA cylinders et al.
TIA,
Mike
