Running NT4 and Linux

[UnixFreak]

I should know the answer to this one, but I dont, Can I run Win NT 4 and RH linux as a dual-boot on the same HD? I know NT has a different startup to it,and not sure what it requires in the MBR and i have installed NT by itself, but never with another OS.

It'll work fine. NT will require either an NTFS or FAT16 partition, both of which can coexist with an EXT2 parition, what Linux (normally) uses. You'll want to put LILO on your linux partition instead of the MBR though, since I think if you use only an NTFS partition the NT boot loading software must be on the MBR.

Sweet! thanks, all I needed to know. (well, Until next time)

you can put lilo on the mbr without harming anything.
