If you are using NTFS on your bootable partition, you will have to
make lilo boot to your linux partition(not primary boot partition) and boot
from the boot up disk you created during the install. I don't think lilo
can write itself to the primary boot partition because of NTFS. If you're
using FAT32, you shouldn't have any problems.
Note: Once you have everything installed, be extremely careful installing
Samba. The default setup could make your machine the Primary Domain
Controller. Check out www.samba.org before using it. You will have to
modify your smb.conf file......

Subject: [ale] newbie needs help!
Hey all,
I am a newbie in the Linux world, and I need help with something that
is probably old-hat to the experienced crowd. I have succesfully
installed Linux (RH 6.0) on a Win95 box several times. However, I have
just received a new workstation at work that is loaded with Win2000 (NT
5). Yikes! What to do? My MIS manager was kind enough to leave a large,
unpartitioned space on the hard drive so I could load Linux. In fact, I
have a 20 GByte drive, with half of it available to Linux. This PC is
very nice. Athlon 700Mhz, 128M SDRAM, etc. I am having a terrible time
with Disk Druid. It doesn't seem to want to install any Linux partitions
even though I have nearly 10 GBytes of unallocated space. What can I do?
