i love linux

["Steve Ball" <sball@nwlink.com>]

i really do.

it's soooo refreshing to be working a command line again!

i could use a couple of advises re:

#1
running NT 4 Server (sorry),,,
and need to continue for now, so
i've installed linux and NT

#2
i have bo distribution on cd and will of course upgrade to hamm once i have
the basics down

Question 1:  should i install xwindow prior to or after upgrading to hamm?
(does it matter?)

#3
i have a single hdd formatted hda1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 with hda2 linux root and hda5
NTFS

#4
i can boot to linux but not NT
[lilo.conf]
boot=/dev/hda2
root=/dev/hda2
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only

Question 2:  should i, or must i, reinstall
{ NT {(at all),((FAT),(NTFS))},  linux }  ?

TIA
