dual booting Windows XP and LFS


Currently I am trying to build a LFS system, but I would also like to be able to dual boot Windows XP on that hard drive. Is a there any tutorial that can show me how to set this up?

Thanks,

J. Myshko

Maybe, obviously google is your friend/arch-enemy http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tutorial+windows+linux+dual-boot&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial

but the problem could be that it's regarded as trivial. You need a decent bootloader, lilo and grub are two, and in fact grub has an example bootscript (menu.lst), which actually presumes you are dualbooting.

Don't count your chickens before the hatch though ... getting LFS running, is a much bigger task.
