Halo,
I use NT and Linux in 1 box, with simple trick.
Install NT first, directly boot NT from CD. After that, install Linux,
dan place LILO in the same partition with NT. You will then prompt for
lilo first, then when you chose "dos" you will get into NT Bootloader.
The next time, you reinstall nt, lilo will not be replaced.
