I have a request that is sacrilege to the charter of WLUG. However it is driven by the practicality of working in todays IT market place. I have run linux exclusively on my personal computers for quite awhile. My situation has changed and now need to make one of my computers a dual boot with windows. The only way I know how to do this is to install windows first and then linux. This would mean having to restore my current installation from backups which I have not done before. My preference would be to add windows leaving my linux installation alone. I am still a newbie to linux and do not understand lilo and the boot process. Would this be something that someone would be willing to help walk me through? Thanks, Mike
Mike, DIE, DIE, HERETIC SCUM! OK, now that I've got that out of my system ;-) what distro are you using? I know that Mandrake has a lilo conf tool that will basically do it for you. Wes On Thursday 24 October 2002 11:53 am, Michael Long wrote:
