ALL OF THIS IS FROM MEMORY. USE WITH CAUTION, NO WARRANTY:
First, use mkbootdisk to make a bootdisk for your current Linux
configuration. Test this to be sure it works.
Use GNU parted (included in RH8) to resize and move your partitions so
you have space for your Win2K partition. Make the partition as type vfat
while you're at it. Then install Win2K into that partition.
Windows _will_ screw with your Master Boot Record (MBR) and you will
lose the ability to boot into Linux. Now, boot with your bootdisk, and
after you boot run the commans "grub-install /dev/hda".
Now that you have Linux booting again, modify your grub.conf to add a
Windows option. Here is mine:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,2)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

initrd /initrd-2.4.18-24.8.0.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0)

title Windows 2000 Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Where it says "rootnoverify (hd0,0)" the (hd0,0) refers to which
partition Windows occupies. I don't know how to make sure that this
refers to the right partition...
