It's been a long time since I've used LILO with WinNT.. it worked way back
when, but.. I've heard people have trouble with it, lately.  AND, I don't
have NT around here in the shop to test it... anyone know if/how it works
with NT? (LILO, that is...)

You can also just make a TurboLinux boot disk and use that to boot Linux,
and boot NT from the hard disk.
