Re: dual boot?
Joo,
You can install Linux into partition(s) on your disk (using NT's disk
administrator tool). You can then boot using a floppy, or use the NT loader
to startup Linux. This involves stripping some bootsector record and putting
on your c: drive. This is well documented in the mini-HOWTO called "NT OS
Loader + Linux mini-HOWTO". I found it at sunsite under the LDP (Linux
Documentation Program). This is how my machine is configured (need NT for
work; use Linux by choice).
