Win98se/WinXP- with linux- ELP!


Hey there,
I have currently installed 98se and xp. I uninstalled Winlinux 2k1 due to that I was worried it got confused with the dual boot system windows provides.
I want to install winlinux 2k1 again. But I don't want to use lilo but the dual boot system that xp manages. Say if installed it on a partioned drive. Say e: . And don't install lilo. How would I use the windows xp boot manager to add a OS.(The boot manager is just like win2000's)(I know the executable location of winlinux)
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Newbej

Newbej,

Hey. Check out the link: http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00011.asp. If I understood you correctly when you said the WinXP boot loader was just like Win2k's, then maybe this article will help you. You will have to install lilo, but NOT on the master boot record (MBR) but on the native-linux /boot partition. Hope this helps

Lazlo
