Re: Dual-Boot Workstation

[Kara Pritchard <kara@linux.com>]

Your best bet:

hda1: (20mb) /boot linuxnative
hda2: (?mb) dos fat32
hda3: (?mb) / linux native
hda4: (?mb)   linux swap

Setting DHCP, when your DHCP server is the same machine isn't going to
work. You'll have to set up a static address.

Have LILO install to the 1st sector of /boot. Make sure you have /dev/hda2
in you LILO configuration.

Yeah, that's changed. But I think that depends on if you use one of the
'automatic' installs in 6.1. I'm not sure. After you get it booted, simply
run 'netcfg' as root in X, and configure your network settings.
