Hi Guys.
If I got another hard drive how would you dual boot with windows 98 on one and linux on the other?
I use a similar configuration with linux on the secondary drive Text below is my from grub configuration (from my experience grub is much easier to use than lilo for this) and i have had no problem with this, windows is in the first partition on the first hdd, i have a small boot partition at the start of the second drive and my root partition is /dev/hdc4. Grub is installed in the mbr of the first hdd (/dev/hda)and its higher stages and config files are stored on the boot partition (/dev/hdc1) Beware that grub numbers drives sequentially but skips cdrom drives (found this out when i replaced a cdrom on /dev/hdb with a hdd) /boot/grub/menu.lst # Boot automatically after a minute. timeout 60 # By default, boot the second entry. default 1 # Fallback to the first entry. fallback 0 title Windows 2000 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title linux 2.4.22-pre10-athalon root (hd2,0) kernel /bzImage-2.4.22-pre10-athalon root=/dev/hdc4 Hope this helps rather than confuses Jason
