[linux-help] Re: Free install

[Weqaar Ali Janjua <wxjanjua@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
   Try BOOTPART, its a utility for multibooting NT and linux, win2000 follows 
same booting scheme as winNT, URL is "http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm";. 
Another good reference is 
"http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html"; . Hope it helps!
