[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux dual boot w/NT4

[Bug Hunter]

  there used to be a readme out there about linking in linux into the NT4
boot loader.

  Basically, if you tell lilo to write the boot sector into another
location (such as /dev/hdb1), and use dd to turn it into a file and put it
on the NT4 disk as a file, then you can edit the normally invisible NT4
boot.ini file to give linux as one of the choices.

  I did this about 4 years ago, and that is all I remember. It was NT4,
SP3 at the time, but it worked through service packs past that.
