This is less of development question and more of a general question, so you might get more & better answers from the general TCLUG list. I'd do the w2k stuff first, and partition each with their native setup tools (just make sure you leave enough free space on the disk for Linux ext2 (or ext3) partition(s) and swap). You can probably get w2k to load Linux, but it is probably more of a pain than it is worth (their bootloader is designed to boot MS OSes). Both GRUB and LILO can handle that job (I have only used LILO, but I hear good things about GRUB). I don't know of the tools w2k uses for partitioning (I have used their setup program and their clicky GUI thing), but Red Hat Linux has used 'fdisk', 'Disk Druid', and I think their own GUI tools (?). Good luck! >>> Sreekumar Kodakara <skodak at cs.umn.edu> 11/15/01 09:29AM >>> Hello, I am having problems when I try to make a dual boot system with Win2k and linux. I would like to know correct method to partition the disk, and the sequence of steps to install the operating systems. I would also like to know the tools which is used to partition the Hard disk. Thanks for the help in advance.
