Hi everybody,

this is my first post and I am new to linux.

I have already installed Redhat 5.2 as dual boot with XP on my 8.4GB hd.

Now as you know Redhat5.2 is a very old destro and I dont have much space in my hdd for newer versions. So i want to install DSL in place of RH5.2.

For configuring dual boot I installed Lilo on linux partition and copied the boot image to XP partition and edited boot.ini of XP to setup dual boot.

Is this possible with DSL ? does it give me the choice of where to install LILO ? And if yes, what is the name of DSL boot image file ?

thanks,
hardik
