I would like to install Linux on my machine without disrupting my multiboot configuration.
Currently I have an OS/2 boot manager, an NTFS primary partition running NT WKSTN 4.0 and a FAT32 primary partition running WIn95B. I would am planning on resizing these partitions using partion magic to make about 500M free space at the end of my hard drive. If it is possible, I would like to install Linux into this partition and add it to the OS/2 boot manager's menu so I can boot all three operating systems from the same boot manager. Last time I tried to install Debian linux I ran into a problem where the boot record did not get copied into the linux partition because the linux partition resided in an extended partition, therefore the only way I could boot Linux was with a startup disk. I dug into the documentation on the web and remember seeing something about how there is a procedure to get the boot record into an extended linux partition, but I wasn't able to find these instruction. So if anybody is familiar with this issue and knows the solution, or where to download it, I would appreciate your help greatly. I can't wait to run linux!... I just can't afford to toast my other OS's just yet becaue I rely on them to get work done. Thanks, Seth -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
