STARTING LINUX WITH LOADLIN.
Step by step installation:
- make a dir in windoooooz (ex: loadlin)
- copy loadlin.exe to your dir.
Modif of 'MSDOS.SYS' :
-click on this file and disable 'readonly'
-open with an editer the file and set BootGUI=0 ( in section [Options](this
don't start the logo of windoooooz.
- in the same section set Logo=0
Modif of CONFIG.SYS :
-open with a texteditor this file.
-insert at top :
[menu]
menuitem=WIN, Windows 98
menuitem=LINUX, linux
menudefault=WIN, 10 #or LINUX as you like !
[WIN]
-insert at bottom :
shell=C:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\vmlinuz root=/dev/hdxxxx
(here I suppose your HD = C, replace hdxxxx with your root partition in
linux)
Now go boot-up linux.
mount your dos partition and copy 'vmlinuz-2.2xxxxxxxxxxxxx' to the dir
'loadlin' as 'vmlinuz'.
That's all.
Good luck
