# 6 Other Sources of Help

There are many Linux HOW-TOs that deal with multiple operating systems on the same hard disk.

The Linux+DOS+Win95+OS2 mini-HOWTO offers help on configuring the OS/2® boot manager, and the Linux+FreeBSD mini-HOWTO might be interesting as well. The Linux-HOWTO is also helpful.

The Windows NT® Loader Hacking Guide provides good information on multibooting Windows NT, Windows® 95, and DOS with other operating systems.

And Hale Landis's “How It Works” document pack contains some good info on all sorts of disk geometry and booting related topics. You can find it at ftp://fission.dt.wdc.com/pub/otherdocs/pc_systems/how_it_works/allhiw.zip.
