Hi,

unfortunately i can't, because linux resides on an extended partition =
and
the nt boot-manager doesn't boot an os which is on an extended =
partition.
Another reason why i don't like the NT bootmanager is that i always =
have
to "dd" the bootblock of my linux-partition again when i change my lilo
configuration of the linux partition.

Bye,

 Alex
