Trying to make dual boot work on my TP 600. I was given a 40G hard drive, so now I have the room to squeeze both OS's in. I'd like to retain windoze to run some CAD software for work backup ( If anyone knows of a double secret parametric 3D modelling package out there for Linux, let me know. I haven't been able to find anything. BRL-CAD rocks, but the learning curve is steep.) I can install either OS without issues, doing a standard windoze 2000 pro install, or a Slackware12.0 install, with LILO installed to the MBR. Either one works separately, but when I install Slackware after windoze, LILO gives a disk read error. (LILO posts the L followed by a screenful of 01's) I've tried making the install to different partitions, but that doesn't seem to help. The only thing I haven't tried yet is a 'boot' partition for LILO to live in. I'd rather not do that, as that would only leave me with two partitions for my Linux system. One for 'boot', one for windoze , one for / , one for swap, and that leaves nothing for /usr/local or /home. Or is there something about the 4 partition limit to fdisk that I'm missing? Thanks. --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html ---
