[LI] Linux and NT



Hi,

There has been some talk about co-existance of Linux and NT. I'd like to
share a strange experience which i had while installing NT 4.0 server and
linux on one of my machines. I partitioned the harddisk and created a FAT16
partition and left the remaining space unpartitioned space for linux. I
formatted the FAT16 partition and kept Dos over there. I then installed
linux and LILO in the MBR. As expected during startup LILO gave an option to
boot into linux or dos. After that i installed NT 4.0 server. It was now
that the unexpected happened LILO was there and still gave me two options
"LInux" or "DOS"..and on selecting DOS the WIN-Nt OS loader came up giving a
choice to boot up from NT or DOS. I don't know why NT didn't crib. Any
pointers anyone.
