[lug] Newbie dual boot question

[LittleViggy at alum.manhattan.edu]

You need to have:

1)  A floppy boot disk.  The first disk in the install may work for this 
(it does for the Slackware disto).
2)  Loadlin!  Loadlin is a "boot program" that runs in DOS, and will 
automagically "re-boot" your system into Linux (provided to pass it 
the correct partiton).
3)  LILO!  LILO is a "boot loader" program similar to the windows 
NT boot loader.  In a nutshell, it is a small program that resides on 
the primary drive's boot sector.  When you turn your machine on, it 
presents you with a menu, allowing you to boot into Linux or 
Windows.
