actualy - you may be right. I'll try that next time I install linux. me
personally, at my home computer, I put LILO on the linux partition and I
use loadlin to boot it from the MS-DOS multi-config menu (or even from ..
*gasp* - windows...). it slower getting to linux that way, but I don't
mind that, and the rest of the family use windows.
