[CLUE-Tech] Newbie dual-booting XP and Linux problems

[Ed Hill]

Hi Ken,

I have an Athlon Linux/WinXP RH 7.2 dual boot system right next to me at
the moment.  I set it up a few weeks ago.  Heres what I did:

  - installed WinXP on one partition

  - installed RH 7.2 using three additional partitions 
    (/, /home, swap)

  - let the RH install process load GRUB into the MBR 
    (the "GRand Unified Bootloader"--which replaces LILO 
    as the default for RH as of ver 7.2) automatically 
    configure itself as the bootloader for both XP and 
    linux

  - done, works great.

hth,
Ed
