Question about LILO in MBR
Hi!
I just got a new Laptop. It has one hdd but 3 partitions.
So this actually means, that i should be able to hdinstall knoppix without damaging the boot partition of the winXP system that's already there.
I could just delete one of the other partitions and use it for Linux.
But now i have the problem, that my Laptop, as most of these things nowadays doesn't have a floppy-drive. So i'd preffer to write LILO into the MBR.
My question is: Will i be able to boot WinXP as well as Knoppix via LILO or will WinXP be unable to boot(even with LILO) because it's MBR is 'gone'?
Another possibility would be to write LILO on a USB-memory stick and make it bootable.
Any Tutorials on that? Would you suggest it?
