Of course, you don't have to put LILO on the MBR -- it works just fine at the start of other partitions (though the start of the partiton, where the first few hundred bytes of LILO resides, might have to be below the 1024-cylinder boundary). Just mark your Linux partiton as `active' and the Windows MBR will load LILO (or does this not work with Win NT/2k?) -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ If ignorance is bliss, / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ then why aren't more \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) people happy?
