Why, if, with all of the machines you are responsible for, you can do it
with the CD?

When I first started using Linux, I was (obviously still) more
comfortable using windoze.  That being the case, I set up my dual boot
like this:

http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00011.asp

which is basically

* windoze boot loader on the mbr
* image of the first 512 bytes of my linux boot partition (/dev/hda6) in
a file and placed on c: (which is at the beginning of the drive)
* entry in boot.ini pointing to that "linux boot file"

I guess at this point it is time to make grub my primary boot loader,
but I just have not gotten around to it yet.  Maybe when I install RH10
. . .
