Last time I used loadlin (happens after a Windows reinstall, because
Windows rewrites the MBR) it is as much trouble as dual booting, since
you have to boot the machine into MS-DOS to run it, deal with not having
Tab complete, and then wait for it to reboot into Linux.

Lilo is actually one less boot. Unless I had an old versin of loadlin.
The graphical loadlin wrapper Winux used to be OK, but the site has gone
down.
