Dear Michael,
Yea i used to run win2k and RH7.2 before and lilo should do fine
managing everything. Considering the fact that RH7.2 has lba32 support so
i'd say you need not worry about RH8.0 . However i'm not to sure about
booting w2k with NTFS from lilo .But i know there's a known issue with
RH7.2 where you can't mount NTFS partitions Seems you have to upgrade your
kernel version to mount the NTFS partition. However you might want to try
out the GRUB boot loader rather than lilo.It has a neater interface and has
a nice interface.
Regards,
Victor
