Installing Linux with Windows NT4

Microsoft Windows NT4 assumes it is the only operating system you will use and therefore Windows NT4 loads its own
boot manager into the boot sector of the active partition. For this reason it is recommended that Windows NT4 be
installed before Linux. On a Linux / Windows NT dual-install system the user has a choice of which boot manager to
use, Windows NT Loader or LILO. Documentation exists on the Web for using the Windows NT Loader with Linux.
