RE: dual boot!

[Mark Knecht <mknecht controlnet com>]

Meraj,
   I'm doing this (and a bit more - I boot DOS also) using System Commander
2K. (SC2K) It works very well, presuming that you load Windows or DOS as
your first operating system, and then install the others under it.

   I tried Partition Magic, but it completely corrupted one partition of
mine to the point where the machine had to be rebuilt. If you go this
direction, please make sure you have really great backups before starting. 

   Also, I find with Redhat that I have to do a 'Custom Installation' to set
all of this up. To make SC2K work, you must not install LILO in the Master
Boot Record, but in the first sector of your partition. The normal RH
installation doesn't seem to give you this option, but the Custom one does.

   Do DOS and Windows before RH. Linux is actually the easiest to install,
IMHO.

Good luck,
Mark
