What's Linux Dual Boot? Linux can be booted from floppy (ugly) or from
the HD with any (?) boot loader. I highly recommend Linux own one, lilo
(LInux LOader), that can boot Linux, but also OS/2, DOS or whatever you
want with ease. How are you installing Linux? Every installation kit I
know has his own copy of lilo, and makes a bootable floppy right from
the begining.
