syneze Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 yea just use boot.ini file http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00011.asp the link shows you how to do it with win2k but it's the same procedure for XP there are other ways of doing it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propane Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 no problem and be sure to use lilo if you have onboard video! grub can cause problems with onboard video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmike02 Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 If you use mandrake you can rezise ntfs partitions and it has support for ntfs built in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3bruts1d Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 I thought linux was open source and thus free?! Anyone know where i can download it? Which distro of linux are you wanting? You can find the download info for just about every distro @ http://www.distrowatch.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmike02 Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 distro watch is great for finding distros - but if you are looking for red hat or some other linux operating systems that dont have a download section on the site - you can use www.linuxiso.org Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I recomend Mandrake for a start if your thinking about using unix based (minus mac) operating systems - its a good starter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
