Just a continuation of this thread: I'm running NT4.0, and all my drives are NTFS, including c:. I'd like to install linux (will have to for class next semester anyway), and am willing to format a 2gig partition to whatever is needed, but don't want to lose NT, or be unable to run it or something. Is it possible to install linux (Slackware off of CD) onto an empty partition, have it give me a choice when I boot (preferably with the NT boot manager) which OS to pick, all without having to reload NT at all? And would I be lucky enough that linux can read an NTFS partition so I can get at all my mp3s? :-) I know this is probably an RTFM, and if it is, I appologize, but I've not got the FM at this point! Thanks, -Dave
