[ale] Second drive as Linux

[jonathanrickman at netscape.net]

NO!!! Do not put Lilo on the mbr...DO NOT!!! NT has an inferiority
complex and demands that it be the default loader. Unfortunately,
getting NT's loader to recognize linux is pretty hairy. My suggestion
would be Boot Magic from Powerquest. It comes on the "extras" disc of
some distros. (Mandrake, Caldera, 
and I think RH 6.1) Believe me...installing lilo on the mbr of your NT
drive  will "blow it up".
