Hello!
I want to ask about the linux setup question.
My computer is now running Windows 2000 Professional (NTFS),
can I install Red Hat Linux 6.2 to my computer and dual boot with
Windows 2000 Professional?
Since my Windows 2000 is NTFS, not FAT32, so can I dual boot
by the LILO?

This works fine with SuSE7.0 with LILO installed in the MBR of C:, so I
guess there should be no problem with Red Hat. If you want to exchange
data in both directions you need a (additional) FAT32 partition, AFAIK.

I have Windows 2000 & Redhat 6.2 installed on a Compaq Armada E500. Win2k
was installed first leaving me 4GB of unpartitioned space for Linux. I then
installed Redhat into that space setting up Lilo to work from the partition
not the drive MBR. You then need a utility called bootpart that will
integrate Linux into your Windows 2000 OS Loader.

The only thing to watch out for is Lilo. The problem I had was that the
version of Lilo supplied with 6.2 didn't work when installed on a "big"
disc. I had to download and install a newer Lilo after booting with the
rescue disc... AFAIK 7.0 does not have this problem although I haven't
upgraded yet.
