Hi,

I have a 1.5 Gbyte disk partitioned into 2 DOS drives, one 900 Mbyte (Windows), and the other 600 Mbyte. I want to use the 600 Mbyte for Linux. Using cfdisk in dbootstrap I configure two primary partitions in this drive, a Linux swap and a Linux native. I'd like to keep the Windows partition bootable, so it comes up by default, and I would like to boot linux from the floppy. Is this possible? Is there a better way?

Thanks!

Dave
