RE: [LI] linux/win

[SubramaniA@xxxxxxxx]

I think the only trouble u can encounter while trying to install Win 9x/NT
and Rh6 on the same HDD is if u have ur pri partition as NTFS. Otherwise U
should install win 9x first( Winn9x assumes that its the only operating
system around) followed by NT and RH6. U can also Install NT after RH6. In
case u find that Win 9x/NT has erased ur LILO. Just run the Rh6 installation
again and upgarde. Choose "NO" in the "would you like to customise..." and
finally select the MBR option for the bootloader part. Next U specify
whether u want LILO to boot into dos( windows or the NT bootloader) or Linux
by default. when the system restarts just press TAB at the LILO prompt and u
will get a list of available options
