Hey ! I used small program "boopart" ( you should be able to find it on the
web) it creates file with bootsector from the partition and drive you
specify, even more , it edits "boot.ini" for you :) . So , when you install
linux , DO NOT install lilo to manage your boot process. Next time you
reboo
It is indeed possible, and in fact doesn't involve NTLDR. Lilo
doesn't "point to" NTLDR, it "points to" the partition on which NT is
installed, like it would for dos or windows 95. You can even put linux in
the NT boot menu. I have NT, Dos, and Linux all loading from the boot menu

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. I have a small (700 MB) NTFS
partition in the first partition (/dev/hda1) and then
I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that putting it in the mbr should be
just fine, LILO goes, and just hands it off to NT normally as I recall.
I have lilo in my MBR, and a fat c: partition, and NT actually boots out of
an NTFS partition. Lilo comes up, I type dos, and am then in the NT loader.
Just get the 'NT OS Loader +Linux mini-HOTO' (at any Linux ftp-site like
sunsite etc. under ../doc/HOWTO/mini/. There everything is described.
One thing which might cause a problem is, that Redhat wants to boot after
installation without giving you the opinion to install everything like it
should

Yes; see the Linux+NT-Loader mini-HOWTO.

Is it possible to set up a Linux/NT dual boot IF NTFS is the only filesystem
used by NT? My inclination is to say no. considering that LILO has to be able
to point to the NTLDR. If the NTLDR is on an NTFS partition, would LILO be
able to point to it?
The reason I ask, is that I have an NT sy
