yes it is possible. The pts distribution has an help where this is discribed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Start liloconfig (say that lilo will be installed at the linux root partition)<br />
Add the linux partition to the config<br />
delay should be zero<br />
install lilo<br />
Copy the bootsector into a file (dd if=&lt;Linux Root-Partition&gt; of=&lt;File&gt; bs=512 count=1<br />
(e.g. dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/bootsect.lin bs=512 count=1)<br />
cp this file to the NT boot partition (via DISC if it's NTFS or directly if it's dos)<br />
add the following line in boot.ini<br />
C:\bootsect.lin=Linux<br />
<br />

Hey rbr, nice idea.<br />
Does it work also if my 1'st partition (C:) is NTFS? As with booting DOS, I thought that it's just possible to boot other systems if the 2'st partition (NT) is in FAT format.<br />
If this works you should get the points :-)<br />

Yes if you copy the file with a disc on the NTFS volume it should work!<br />

I have a primary slave HD with SlackWare 3.4 installed. When I installed LILO on the master, it destroyed my first primary partition... Is there a way to add Linux to the boot.ini file? (The option multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)...<wbr /> seemed to assume that NT was to be loaded from that partition.)

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
