[plug] Windows Problems

[John Knight]

G'day mate! It takes a while to get good partitioning, and I learned the 
hard way (just ask Adrian Woodley). This'd be a better setup, it works well 
on my mate's PC:

MBR lilo (don't worry, when it's done, the windoze boot menu stays for
          some reason)
8Mb /boot
128Mb swap
NEG (negotiable) windoze
NEG what ever u want to do with linux

i'll probably get lots of "that won't work!!!!!!!!" mail, but it works like 
a champion, mate. :)



Make lunch, not war.
