There is a program called Mrbooter, that should work in place of LILO, it's
shareware, Dos based, and very easy to use. I'll find the URL for you.

Subject: Re: NT5 dual boot

I had nothing but trouble trying to maintain w95 and Linux on the same
drive. Every time I reinstalled w95 it would overwrite the mbr? and I
would have to play with lilo or reinstall Linux. I spent a week
trying to get the two to play nice with each other. I think it is a
windows dominance problem.

My solution was to use two hard drives. Things work better however I
think the real solution is two removable hard drives. I will be
installing w2k server (NT5?) soon and will be using a removable. I
want to use the same box as both a w2k server and a Linux server, on
separate removable drives. Of course this all in the privacy of my
home.
