If a linux bootloader is installed then AFAIK no version of dos or windows has anything to do with the MBR. > I do have two machines booting with Grub, several versions of > Slackware 9.X as default, or selected, and Win9X as a selection > partition.. It does work well for us... HTH. May i ask the following, how did you get a slackware distribution with grub,? if i remember correctly Patrick Volkerding once said, lilo is and will be my choice of bootloader for slackware, i know for a fact that slackware installs lilo by default so i imagen you must have installed grub yourself, may i ask why.? > > Hal - in Terra Alta, WV - Slackware GNU/Linux 9.0 (2.4.20) > > Anyone can pile complexity upon complexity; > only a genius can truly simplify.. According to your sig, then you would use lilo as it is in complexity more simple than grub. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of thieves because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
