hi

i am just downloading dsl, and i was wondering if it is possible to create a dualboot with my existing 6gb (<1024 cyl) xp partition, preferably using ntldr.  i read that the hdinstall script uses lilo as the boot loader.

does dsl hd installer put lilo on the linux partition or does it install lilo to the mbr?

any advice on what is the most painless way to get the dualboot?

thanks a lot

I have a dualboot with windows 98 and it works fine. DSL makes a startup menu where you can chose your OS in the beginning.
