Hi
Oh,I'm using NTFS on all W2K boxes.I don't really trust NT on a vfat
partition.
Probably that's why it worked in my case.I know the trick with using the
NT bootloader,it just that I found the floppy to me more reliable on the
long run.
I don't know about Grub.I mean how stable is it.Lilo is a proven
bootloader,
it's been around for ages and works.For now the only distro that uses
grub is Mandrake and I don't particularry like it.It's too "bleeding
edge" and I've heard
too many complaints about things not working in 7.2 ,that used to work
in 7.1 .
I'll give grub a try in a few months.For now it's nice and stable
because too
few people are using it.:-)
