Before your read any further, I should mention that this mini-howto
has some limitations with Windows ME. Based on feedback from Windows ME
users, the menuing system described in the next section will
only work from a Windows boot floppy instead of from the hard drive.
Thanks to Olivier Guichard for pointing me to the relevant
Microsoft article.
Note that only the config.sys and autoexec.bat files
need to be on the floppy disk. All other files mentioned may reside on
the hard drive.
If booting from a floppy is not an option for you, then please see the
FAQ section for alternatives to LILO and Loadlin.
Any Windows ME users who can find a better way than using a floppy,
please
let me know your solution
so I can include it in this mini-howto.
- You have successfully installed Windows 95/98/ME.
- Windows 95/98/ME is installed on Drive C.
- You have successfully installed Linux.
- You know what partition Linux is installed on.
- LILO is NOT installed on your hard drive.
- The Loadlin.exe program file
- Your kernel image file, usually bzImage or vmlinuz. (See the
FAQ for info).
