Is it possible to dual-boot between NTFS 5.0 (Windows 2000) and RedHat Linux
6.1 (Linux partition)?? Which should I install first, and how do I go about
it? Using a fresh hard drive.
Thanks,

With linux second you'll get a LILO BOOT option... just type DOS and hit enter.
I have a triple boot, and this is perferct... I just type DOS at LILO, then
select win98 or Win2K at the boot.inin prompt.

This removes the need for using the LILO prompt. The only problem with
this is that you to strip the boot sector and create a DOS file form it
each time to recompile your kernel. However I just use a script to do
this automatically so it's a relatively painless process.
There is a Mini Howto which explains everything.

I have had RedHat Linux 6.1 installed forever, and usually ran Windows 98
with it. I used LILO (natch!) and then UPGRADED to Windows 2000. And my
LILO boot still worked. But I was unhappy with the performance that
Windows 2000 was reporting installed over Windows 98, so I wiped my
Windows installation, but kept my Linux partition. I then INSTALLED
Windows 2000-- a fresh copy. Now my LILO was gone. (Once more, natch.)
So I downloaded the ISO of RedHat 6.2 beta and UPGRADED my Linux 6.1,
thinking that I can just reinstall LILO. It asked me if I would like to
do such, and I selected YES, with my default boot to DOS. But, after a
reboot...no LILO.
I have also tried the trick with the "bootsect.lnx" in the "boot.ini" but
that has not worked either. When I select Linux from the boot menu,
nothing happens. It just sits there.
Now that I am done ranting (hehe) can anyone out there help?! I look
forward to your replies and thank you in advance.

I got LILO to work finally. I just had to delete my Linux partition and
start over. Whee, does the phun ever stop?
