make partitions with Partition Magic. 2 cautions:
1. If you want to use LILO to boot Linux, you have to put boot partition
(/boot if separated or /) within 1024 cylinders.
2. If you choose "Workstation" or "Server" installation option, don't
use "automatic partitioning" in RH 6.1 setup since it will destroy
Windows partition data. Use "manual partitioning" and choose format
options depending on your need.
Cheers.
