I've done this before with other distros I just did something wrong :o)

i installed win2k first on hda

now normally with other linux versions i just install and partition as usualy and the boot loader adds win2k as one of my boot options.

In redhat i don't have that... when I boot up i just get the option for redhat

the partition for win2k is still there

now redhat uses lilo by defualt

in order to get win2k as a boot option what do i have to do?

I was thinking of installing grub and just having it point to hda a boot option... which would get win2k...

Thanks a bunch...
Will

you can manually edit your /etc/lilo.conf file and add the following:

other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=Win2k

then just /sbin/lilo to update the changes.

Good Luck

No, you had a different question, one which I don't know the answer to.

To the original poster, if the advice given doesn't work then add

other=/dev/hda1
table=/dev/hda
label=win2k

to your /etc/lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo.conf

Good luck
