[LUAU] boot loaders and XP

[Benjamin Kinsey]

If you  need to resize your xp partition, I've used the mandrake 10.1 
installer and it worked great.  For those interested in multibooting, 
including resizing and cloning a bootable xp partition, you can see one 
technique i've outlined in a usenet post here:

The bootloader I use is LILO from a Mandrake partition... For some 
reason, I've had better luck connecting to diverse distros and OS's with 
LILO, even though GRUB is supposed to be more advanced.

All of this tinkering and experimenting took me many hours, so good luck.
