Actually this works quit well and is the preferred method if you want
to install with another OS. When using the master/slave situation you
should make RH the slave drive so that the MBR can initiate LILO and
boot to the appropriate drive and OS. If you use another drive
altogether it will not be seen as the "D" drive on your Win doze
machine but only as a LILO boot function. You will only have access to
the "C" drive when booting to win doze and only the drive or partition
you have made for RH. LILO will work with Win95/98/NT. Your best bet
is to have a seperate drive for RH and one for Win. As long as you
have two drives there will not be a virus problem unless of course,
you download one from the Internet. Good Luck to your son, may he do
well with his projects.
