How to set up multiboot with linux as one OS?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good day:
I'm not an expert in any respect but I've got the feeling that Win2k 
will force you to use its own boot-loader. And if you are more familiar  
with Windows environment than wit Linux, perhaps, it can be the best way 
of booting your system to start with.
If you want to take a trouble of looking through the archives of this 
list, you should be able to find some suggestions about boot-loaders 
posted by visually impaired members of it. There were some very 
interesting emails from Janina Sojka about lilo, for instance.

Hope it helps,
Pawel.
