I did the same with Windows 2000 and had problems. Microsoft
changed NTFS on Windows 2000. When I attempted to install Lilo on the
primary boot partition(where 2000 was), it couldn't write to the primary
boot partition. Maybe it wasn't NTFS but I am pretty sure it was....

Actually, you can do this. I've got two laptops that originally had NT
4.0/NTFS only, and I installed Red Hat on one, and Mandrake on the
other. Both use LILO to boot either Linux or NT. Both have LILO
installed in the primary boot partition.

I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with
Y2K...
