BTW, I let RH 7.2 install graub by default, figuring I could always fix things later if I didn't like it. So far, no problem, so I just left it. It dual boots just fine (I've had it for only 2 1/2 months). Good Luck, Mike -- "Many loads of beer were brought. What disorder, whoring, fighting, killing, and dreadful idolatry took place there."

Re: How To Setup Dual Boot with XP or Win2000
Hey, You might check the HOWTOs on Linuxdoc (http://www.linuxdoc.org). There are a few on dual booting, and may be recent enough to include Win2000 or XP.

How To Setup Dual Boot with XP or Win2000
Hello, We are, the linux user group here, preparing to have an install-fest. Things that we are anticipate is that there are newbies who would want to have dual boot setup. I am wondering if someone can point out to me a how to, or URL address, on how to set dual boot with either Win2000, or XP. I have no worry about win95/98 because I've done that many times. I'd really prefer to use LILO as boot loader since I have no experience with GRUB, unless someone convince me that GRUB will make things easier :) Any help will be greatly appreciated. We really want to popularize linux here :) Thanks in advance Reuben D. Budiardja -- Reuben D.
