I have NT workstation and rhl 5.0 on a toshiba laptop. It came with
NT installed in a 1G partition and a 2 GB extended partition.
The NT partition is a dos format. There is a program included that
can convert it to ntfs. I have not done this as I know very little
about NT at this point.
I deleted the extended partition and created a 200 MB dos formatted
partiton for data, a 100 MB linux root partition (both primary partitions)
and a new extended partition with separate logical partitions for /home
/usr, /var, swap, etc, using the disk druid.
I finished the install rhl 5.0 and put lilo in the linux root partition.
Then I installed Masterbooter (a shareware program which we have
a small site license, 50 machines for 50 $).
AFAIK Masterbooter can only boot OS's in primary partitions.
It works well. No problems at all.
