Last month I replaced a Cyrix 166 MB running NT 4.0 on a 2940UW with one
of the new Tyan Dual PII-300 MBs with a built in dual channel 7880.
All I did was swap out all the hardware with the new and except for
haveing to remove/add new audio drives (I had a SBPRo and the Tyan
has a Yamaha on the MB) the upgrade went very smooth, with only the
one reboot to install the audio. I was actually very suprised with it.
I personally would never touch Win95/98, as they are just plain
obnoxious.
Anyways, heres my real question. I want to install Linux on an NT5
notebook with a 6gb HD in it. 4gb will be for NT5 and the later
2gb will be for Linux. I already have NT5 installed on the 6gb,
and will probably use something like Partition Majic to change the
size of it. Now, when I install Linux, I'd prefer to keep the NT
boot loader as the primary MBR of the drive, and just modify it to
boot lilo on the second partition from the boot.ini file. Has
anyone done this or am I just dreaming? If it is possible what kind of
entry what I be looking at and how do I choose this when I install
Linux?
