I have always found that if you boot from the linux installation DVD and
go to 'boot installed OS' then it leaves the install manager and boots
straight into windows. Where do you specify the option to boot to
linux??

No problem. Just use the bootable cd to "boot an installed system",
and tell it to boot your linux system, then edit /etc/lilo.conf  to add
a windows partition, then run /sbin/lilo.


image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-
  root = /dev/hd6
  label = linux
  restricted

other = /dev/hda2
  label = windows
  table = /dev/hda
