Instead, use LILO, it will make it easier to boot linux than having to
boot from a boot disk.  You must set windows ahead of linux instead of
after linux on the partitions in '/etc/lilo.conf'.

> Yes you can use Windoze (Ms-windows) and others on the same system

> windoze can be the default OS and u can boot Linux from a floppy
