I've installed Windows2000Advanced Server and like to have a Linux Installation as well on the same machine. Is there a way to do it (Dualboot) ?<br>Many thanks for your help!<br>Thomas

Sure is .... Just ready the new partition for linux ..(with either partition magic &lt;easy way&gt; or use fips &lt;not so easy&gt;<br><br>The LILO program will take care of most things after you install Linux.. (Press tab key to see a list of operating system on your machine ... type in the name of the one you want and weeeheeey)<br><br>Puck™

Bearing in mind this is a whole new OS (so they say ;^), has anyone got actual experience of dual-booting Linux with Win2K?&nbsp;&nbsp;I've heard rumours that Win2K does things to the MBR that will mess up LILO and friends... <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>

I think you'd better use NT OS Loader to manage win2k and linux.<br>suppose win2k on MBR:<br><br>1. install linux on separate partiton eg. /dev/hda5<br>2. dump its first record<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;dd if=/dev/hda5 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1<br>3. modify boot.ini file:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;maybe add linux=bootsect.lnx ^_^<br>
