nelson I have only used LILO or the NT boot loader. Can NT use LOADLIN at all? I know that the lilo plus NT boot loader approach worked well for me and can be done if NT is installed on a ntfs partition or fat. I have also used LILO to boot both NT and linux. This was just as simple. I used yast to setup NT installed to /dev/hdb and all went as expected.

I don't recall ever seeing anyone use loadlin within the NT loader, I know you can use the NT loader instead of lilo to boot linux, but don't think you can use loadlin within the NT loader. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas S.u.S.E.

I recently saw a packaged mentioned on the usenet called "bootparm" or "bootparam". It supposedly was a way to add linux to the NT bootloader. You probably install lilo in the linux partition, not the MBR, then put a pointer to it in the NT boot loader menu. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html

Correct, you install lilo, but NOT in the MBR otherwise you defeat the purpose of using the NT loader to boot to NT/Linux. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas S.u.S.E.

when installing near a win95 partition, nt install a dual boot process like this: It saves the dos mbr on a file and manage to load it as far as one wants to boot dos. One can fool nt copying an other mbr (ie linux one). There is a linux/dos utility for that. However, this mean there is a dos partition available. anyway, get a look at your suse cd1, there is a dosutils directory with plenty of nice things... -- Linux hp-41 APTEP SF <A HREF="http://perso.club-internet.fr/jdanield"><A HREF="http://perso.club-internet.fr/jdanield</A">http://perso.club-internet.fr/jdanield jdanield@club-internet.fr jdanield@usa.net -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html

Modify msdos.sys, config.sys and autoexec.bat to look similar to these and you should be ok: msdos.sys --------- ;FORMAT [Paths] WinDir=C:\WINDOWS WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS HostWinBootDrv=C [Options] LoadLogo=0 BootDelay=0 BootMulti=0 BootMenu=0 BootMenuDelay=0 BootMenuDefault=0 BootGUI=0 Network=1 ;DblSpace=0 .. ..

I think it's not possible to use loadlin with NTFS only partition. with nt on FAT, it's probably possible but tricky. I Think i'ts always usefull to have a dos partition (at least some Mb) in the beginning. -- Linux hp-41 APTEP SF <A HREF="http://perso.club-internet.fr/jdanield"><A HREF="http://perso.club-internet.fr/jdanield</A">http://perso.club-internet.fr/jdanield jdanield@club-internet.fr jdanield@usa.net -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
