I use Lilo as boot manager.
Some people told me that windows should be the
fisrt OS of the disc, but if you are saying that you
use Linux first and windows for the rest... it fits
me!

If I could maintain my swap and Linux at the first
half of the disc and use the remaining with Win NT
it would be great.

How can I setup my lilo.conf for dual boot in that case?!
