This isn't necessary, as long as you have multiple partitions and set the bootable flag on the linux partition. I run Debian Potato/Win2k no problem at home with LILO loading Win2k. I can even mount the NTFS partition (read-only) no problem using the ntfs module. Just repartiton using Partition Magic or something similar and install normally. Don't bother with Win2k's boot manager or anything, just make sure you install linux after windows. Peter -- Peter D.
