Can someone tell me how to Boot Linux via LOADLIN through the Windoze NT boot loader?? With LILO it is possible, but I dont use LILO... And if it is through LOADLIN, how can I set it up?? Thx

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.

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/</A</A>> 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</A</A>>

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</A</A>> 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/</A</A>> 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</A</A>>
