HI again!

... once again i seem to be confused.
If you aren't confused, you aren't awake.

... my windows 2000 install cd will work to boot?
Good. In issues of installing and booting WinStuff, it's best to listen to sources as close to Redmond as possible unless someone is waving a huge flag that says, "I KNOW BETTER!" And listen to those people with caution!

Just one last [question].
No, no, save at least one for when you meet the Superuser of us all. Until then, question, question, question!

How would I make the linux hidden....
Let me research the LILO answer to this for another hour or two. I think there's a very crude way in LILO, but maybe I was thinking of GrUB when I said an OS could be hidden at boot time.

Or maybe I was doing the old-person version of thinking, which is looking back with nostalgia on half-memories conveniently rebuilt for the purpose of contentment.

Back soon!
