adding loadlin to winxp boot.ini ?
me again.... the question now !!
i have slax on my f: drive waiting to be run as a live cd {dont worry about this }
i have configured and beaten loadlin and my linux.bat file to work 100%
i want to add, loadlin to my boot.ini file {winxp}
using these parameters...
{ change dir to f: } _________- dont know the command
{ cd'ing to /dos/ } cd /dos ___________- me thinks this is correct (dos is the folder that contains loadlin, linux.bat and vmlinuz + inirtd.gz etc }
{ finally loading loadlins linux.bat} linux.bat __________-yet another assumption i might be incorrect...
can anyone help me please ??

Windows cant boot to linux, only the loader.
mount grub/lilo/what ever to the root partition and do this
ctrl+alt+F1/F2.. now type
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/mnt/floppy/linux.bin bs=512 count=1
add to boot.ini
c:\linux.bin="Linux"
that is all! ( oh and you will need a floppy to do it this way. Boot from the floppy one time, reboot and login to windows and add the changes)
