Stout's Technical Support Thread by stoutman_20012002-03-08 00:00:21
  How about this? by Blackbyrd22002-03-08 01:34:11
    Here's what you'll wanna do; by stoutman_2001 2002-03-08 04:18:09
Use a windows bootdisk to boot hte computer, and fdisk the drive. Only make a partition for windows. Lets say you have a 30GB drive, and you're going to split it between windows and Linux. Make a single partition of 15GB. Install windows on that, jsut like you normally would..

Then go ahead and boot from your linux install disk. Use Linux's fdisk to create /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3 partitions. hda2 should be a size of RAM*2, but no more than 512MB. Just tell hda3 to consume hte rest of hte drive..

Now slackware I know, you run liloconfig and it's pretty much self explanitory. As for how to configure /etc/lilo.conf for other OS's, simply login as root and type "man lilo". Until you get lilo working right, you cna always install loadlin under windows and boot linux from that =)
