[wplug] Question from a newbie

 More or less, yes.  Although I've heard of using loadlin to dual-boot, 
I've never seen it work.  There are a lot of options, but in my 
experience, the most convenient and workable way to dual boot windows 
and linux is to use either grub or lilo.

Why do you ask?


	I want to put Linux on my WinXP system but don't want to have to
change the boot manager since I already have to go through the trouble
of repartitioning the drive...  Don't you just wish there was some way
of running two operating systems on one partition...
