Same here, Rebellion is really slick if you have 10 hours a day to play
games, and enjoy a level that can last 50-100 hours and like
micromanagement. Unfortunately this doesn't describe me so I switched to
Starcraft.

It does. I used it to mess with some partitions on my system. T

PowerBoot will make it easier, and at $25 is less expensive than
System Commander.

I did a little research. Even the newest versions of SC are DOS/Win95 only.

Well, whether or not it helps, here is the tutorial I wrote:

broken link and all. If it's a problem for anyone to read HTML, I'll
convert it to plain text.

Will something like System Commander make the dual-boot Linux/NT ordeal any
easier?
We are ordering a new system that comes with NT. I would like to install
Linux on the system when it arrives. I know that I will need to repartition
the drive (one big 8.4 GB drive) and I thought that something li
I find the best option for nt and linux is a small dos partition ( say 10
meg ).
Install msdos x.x and then isatll nt. It will use its own boot loader (lilo
). Then boot linux from the dos partition using loadlin.
So you have 2 menus dos/nt and then linux/dos.
It also allows you to use dos progra

It sounds like a case of the "dualing boot managers". I successfully boot
between NT and Linux using lilo. My solution was to install NT on a
dedicated HDD (hda). After booting successfully into NT I shut down the
system, moved hda to hdb (and configured nt hdd for slave operation)

I am dual booting Windows NT and Linux on my system; I use LOADLIN.
Here's the procedure:
1. If Windows NT was installed on top of DOS, you should see an
'MS-DOS' option.
2. Boot up Linux with the disk. Mount your hard drive with NT if it
isn't already. Create a directory called LOADLIN in your NT
