Two questions:
a. does he need to retain Windows and thus the overlay software?
If not, what is the problem?
I've spent 6 years encouraging him to try out Linux. This is his first try at it... so, yah he need to keep Windows - he makes his living programming in Windows. He is interested in firing up Kylix though to see if he can experiment with doing the same in Linux using Kylix.
b. If he does, why not leave the MBR as is, and use a boot floppy to boot Linux?
D'oh! <smacks head> Now why didn't I think of that. Thanks to everyone for pointing out the obvious. This is the easy way to solve the issue. It's been so long since I've used the boot floppy idea that I completely forgot about it ;-P Thanks C.
