Re: [newbie] Dual Boot Upgrade

[John Richard Smith]

It's your choice, either remove lilo with the dos switch in which case your left with
w2k's own boot loader or leave lilo in place (it sits in the mbr) either way when
you come to install mandrake a new lilo will be written.

Others deal with the upgrade issue. Just to add my 2p worth -

You wouldn't try to upgrade, would you? Most people have found that dodgy. A clean install is to be preferred.
