<p>The other booting option that comes with Slackware Linux is LOADLIN. LOADLIN is a DOS
|
||
|
|
executable that can be used to start Linux from a running DOS system. It requires the
|
||
|
|
Linux kernel to be on the DOS partition so that LOADLIN can load it and properly boot the
|
||
|
|
system.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>During the installation process, LOADLIN will be copied to root's home directory as a
|
||
|
|
.ZIP file. There is no automatic setup process for LOADLIN. You will need to copy the
|
||
|
|
Linux kernel (typically <tt class="FILENAME">/boot/vmlinuz</tt>) and the LOADLIN file
|
||
|
|
from root's home directory to the DOS partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>LOADLIN is useful if you would like to make a boot menu on your DOS partition. A menu
|
||
|
|
could be added to your <tt class="FILENAME">AUTOEXEC.BAT</tt> file that would allow you
|
||
|
|
to pick between Linux or DOS. A choice of Linux would run LOADLIN, thus booting your
|
||
|
|
Slackware system. This <tt class="FILENAME">AUTOEXEC.BAT</tt> file under Windows 95 will
|
||
|
|
provide a sufficient boot menu:</p>

<p>You will want to specify your root partition as a Linux device name, like <tt
|
||
|
|
class="FILENAME">/dev/hda2</tt> or something else. You can always use LOADLIN at the
|
||
|
|
command line. You simply use it in the same manner as it is in the example above. The
|
||
|
|
LOADLIN documentation comes with many examples on how to use it.</p>
