This is what I wanted to know. Can I put the 6 gig didk in the machine
install windows on it, then remove, install 20 gig disk install linux. put
the 6 gig disk back in mark the 20 gig as bootable with fdisk and the 6 gig
as non bootable and use lilo to to point to hda (linux) as defaulf and
hdb(windows) as windows in lilo?
Can this be done this way? if not why?
