DUAL BOOT redhat linux 7.3 - W2K
Hi,
i know a little bit of Unix, but not a whole lot.
I have a PC with W2K running on it.
I want to install redhat Linux 7.3 as new OS in dual boot.
do I need to install a boot manager like system commander or does the linux install detects other OS'es and create a dual boot 4 me (like dual boot W98 / W2K for instance)
Also, r there other things I have to watch out for?
