Re: XP then Linux
With Windows XP (at least on this machine) I have XP on /dev/hda1 and my
main debian partition is /dev/hdb1
When installing debian, I just instructed it to install Lilo in the master
boot record (/dev/hda) and after I completed the installation, I just added
a windows entry to /etc/lilo.conf and pointed it to /dev/hda1 and changed a
few other little settings in lilo.conf (just look through it...) Now when I
boot up, I can select windows from lilo boot screen.. XP then takes off
normally, most of the time.. It is windows after all.
