Chris, if LILO can see a MS Windows partition, should it not be able to
see an NT 
partition [a naive question] ?   But I have seen NT with Linux boxes
[customers 
using RoadRunner {retired MS programmers} ].

One thing I learned is you load Win98 1st [it will format over everything
- Linux &
NT included]; and then you can load NT [if you want {NT allows a multiple
boot - 
but will format over Linux (so I have been told by those users) } ]. 
They load 
linux last.
As far as Solaris goes, we have some users in our group who use both.  I
wonder 
if they would do Solaris next to last [& linux last]?
