See www.linux.org.  Navigate to the How-To's in the Linux Documentation
Project.  I believe what happens is LILO runs, you choose DOS, then the NT
Menu Comes up.  Personally, I just use a Linux LILO boot disk.  If you
still can't find it, e-mail me below. (remove SPAMicide)

| 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
