[techtalk] Problem with LILO & booting

[Mandi]

I have to heartily concur with Harry here.  NT and Linux will play VERY
nice together.  Ive had more luck with NT-first-then-Linux installs, while
a friend of mine swears by Linux-first-then-Nt installs.

syscom is an incredible tool, if you can put your hands on it.  I have an
old version somewhere, but I can't find it, else i'd post it on my 'site.  

the multiboot howto is pretty extensive.
