I don't have experience with WinXP, but previous windoze versions weren't hostile to Linux. Their installation programs on the other hand had a tendency to just blindly repartition your disks without looking to see if something else (other than another Win OS) was installed on them. So they had a bad tendency to obliterate non-Windows partitions. Once installed though I've never had any trouble, even when doing Windoze upgrades from, for example, 98 -> 2k. > 1: install XP to hda1 > 2: install Debian to hdb1-7 > 3: install lilo to hda > 4: edit lilo.conf as above > 5: run lilo > 6: reboot and select as appropriate > > Is the right things in the right order? The sequence looks good to me. It's been a while but that's what I did (with 98 and 2k). Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
