[Tfug] Dual booting w/ Raid 0

[Anthony Steckman]

Interestingly enough, during a recent Lycoris install, the boot loader 
was placed on the removeable drive (where we wanted it). Thinking about 
your post, I was a little bit worried about the XP drive, but the MS OS 
loaded fine when I tested it after our meeting.

I can't be 100% on this right now, but I'm pretty sure Lycoris uses Grub 
(whereas Mandrake installs Lilo).

Perhaps the rumored difficulties are specific to Lilo?
