It depends on what kind of filesystem you have chosen for your Win2K installation. If it is NTFS, then you can use lilo to call the Win2K bootloader; Linux can be booted through lilo as usual. If you have used FAT32, then you can use lilo as you would for earlier avatars of Windoze. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
