I'm currently running w2k & RH 9.0 (formerly 8.0) with no problems. Your
partitions shouldn't be an issue, however I've had complete success by doing
the following:
1. Back up the data in both w2k & RH that you really want to save.
2. If you want to make any partition changes for w2k, then erase all
partitions and make a new w2k partition.
3. Install w2k
4. Install RH.
In any case, it's generally far better to install w2k first into it's partition
, then install RH. Grub bootloader will work fine for this, you don't need any
special tools. BE SURE TO MAKE A BOOT FLOPPY IN LINUX! This will prevent any
future problems when (not if) you have to reinstall a windows product, as you
can boot with the floppy and just run grub again.
HIH!
