[NTLUG:Discuss] ... stuggling with partitioning for dual boot ...

[Christopher W Gibson]

The first thing you should do is install your M$ software and partition it
the way you like.  The easiest way to do all your partitioning is utilize
the partition magic boot disks.  If not, install the M$ software initially
and create it on a smaller partition leaving the rest unallocated.  Then
install linux.  If you're using RH 7.2 , GRUB will set up your dual boot
for you with ease and you can then partition out the rest with disk druid.
If you want to use LILO, check out www.tldp.org and read the howto which is
pretty straight forward.

>From your configuration desires, I would suggest the following partitions
in this order.

C: M$
/boot
/
/home
/swap
D: M$
