[ale] Re: [Retraction] Linux (vmware) and NT

[Robert Hoffman]

My previous post was innacurate (much to my pleasant dismay.) I just set up an NT workstation with NTFS and was able to boot from a bootdisk created following Gary's suggestion. Wahoo!!!

I also verified a way to boot to NT from lilo. Read my next post if interested.
