Best Dual boot set up

[Aaron Cordova]

Install Lilo. Then set it to boot your linux drive first, its in the lilo 
config and is really easy to set up. With mandrake you can do it graphicaly 
in th GUI and I'm sure there is a utility inside RH to accomplish this, just 
make sure you install Linux second or create a boot disk first because 
Window$ likes to own the MBR
