I agree. But I offer an easier solution -- use grub. It is a piece
of cake to dual boot linux and win2k with and even has a Debian
package. When I had to install linux on the extra partition of a
win2k box at work I couldn't get lilo to chainload windows. Then I
tried grub and it took no time at all. Much easier.
