With the installation disks of Red Hat 7.1, you really don't need to make
a boot diskette. Boot your machine with the first installation disk, and
type "linux rescue". Choose the language you want to use, and the language
for the keyboard. After that type "chroot /mnt/sysimage"; you might need
to add the following lines to your lilo.conf file :
other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows-XP
;run lilo and voila. This list has many threads, which explain all you need
to do to have a box dual-booting from redhat and windoze-xp. Here is one
of those, up to you to find the other ones:
