      Adding redhat 9

      Ok,

      I'm gonna partition my hard drive (40gb) and install Redhat 9 onto one partition.

      When the installation etc is all complete I would like the following to happen...

      Switch comp. on
      Bootup seq.
      Prompt for OS "Redhat 9 or Windows XP Pro" and an autoselect for XP after 8 seconds.

      How could I go about editing the startup procedure like so?
      You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today.They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.'
      So that was nice.

      1. Install XP
      2. Repartition drive with Part Magic 7 or 8 if you don't already have a partition to install Linux on.
      3. Delete (remove any DOS/WIN partitions if formatted in the 2nd part (recommend XP in part 1, then an extended part with a logical part of either ext2 or blank in the extended part. This helps Redhat or other Linux installers to find a good part to install to right off.
      4. Install Linux. Choose whichever you want to be the default boot part in Lilo / Grub bootloader manager at the end of the Linux install.

      5. OR: just install Linux in a VMWare session in XP.

      That's DiskDrake; Redhat uses Druid (does not replace PM). ;-)
