I am about to install LINUX on my 486 but have a few questions.
I have scoured the FAQ and as much documentation as I could find
before I posted to the newsgroup... Here goes:
I have the Windows NT Oct BETA installed on my system. I also
have DOS 5.0. Windows NT creates a loader that I can choose to
either boot Windows NT or Other OS on Drive C:. I am afraid
that if I use LILO, it will screw up this boot loader that NT
creates. Anyone have anyu experience in this area??
My C drive is partitioned into 2 halves, and I have a second IDE
drive installed. The 1st IDE drive partitions are C: and E: and
the second IDE drive is partioned into Drive D: and F:. If I want
to install LINUX on partition F: what is the proper /dev/hd? ?
I want to make sure it doesnt install over my C: or E: partitions.
Come on people ... help me escape sh*tty DOS...
Forever in your debt,
Tim
