Re: [newbie] NT and Linux
The technic consist of installing lilo on your linux partition (not the MBR)and make an image of your lilo boot sector. So , if your linux (and your lilo) is on /dev/hda2, type : dd if=/dev/hda2 of=~/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Then copy the image (~/bootsect.lnx) to your NT partition, and, in NT, change your c:\boot.ini and add a line : c:\BOOTSECT.LNX="linux" (note that you'll have to change your c:\boot.ini file's attribute to do it). Next time you boot, you should see a linux entry in the ntldr menu.
