RE: [expert] Multi boot with Lm 8.1
Klar Brian D Contr MSG/SICN enlightened the whole world with this utterance: Is there a reason you can't boot with lilo. My desktop system Multiboots. Win 98, Win 2k, and three linux's. Lilo works fine. I use Mandrake's Graphical boot screen. Brian D. Klar - CVE OTS WPAFB I've personally never had much luck using lilo to boot nt of any kind. It seemed to work fine when I just had it booting win98, but when I added win2k, it actually was easier to go the route already explained on this thread. Are you using ntfs with your win2k? I think I remember reading that lilo couldn't boot an ntfs partition?

RE: [expert] Multi boot with Lm 8.1
No, I am not using NTFS for the 2k partition. I saw no reason to since it is just there wasting disk space on my home computer. Someone on the irc channel though uses NTFS with his multiboot and no problems with that he said Brian D.

RE: [expert] Multi boot with Lm 8.1
I use grub rather than lilo to boot between win2k and linux. I had absolutely no problems with it. -Scott -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Tracy Holt Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 9:04 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [expert] Multi boot with Lm 8.1 Klar Brian D Contr MSG/SICN enlightened the whole world with this utterance: Is there a reason you can't boot with lilo.
