A lot of people have wanted this info so here it is. IF I have too many typo's you can search for dual boot linux and nt. That is how I learnd. I had to modify it to work perfectly on any system. Have done this several times from laptops to test machines. Just remember to not install LILO into MBR but install it into the first boot partition and make the boot floppy.

Not a fancy site. Just simple and short and made with 5 mins here and there running out my house. Haven't had time to set up an email server yet so I just added a hotmail account if ya have questions.

I made a partition (via DOS) about half of my HD. Installed Win 98SE. Then, installed Mandrake (used the free space left on the HD) and that was it.
When I boot the mahchine - I get a Linux screen that asks which OS I wanna boot.

I've always installed Lilo to MBR and dual booted everything from DOS to W2KPro. Just have to add the partition in lilo.conf and run lilo to activate the menu.
