Thank you


I've done multiboot by installing Win2000 with FAT32 and creating a
DOS (from Win98) boot floppy with COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM at the
end of AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Boot sequence is A:, CD, C:
Remove the floppy for Windows, insert to boot DOS which will run from
C:.

Knoppix runs on NTFS and I think you could do something similar with a
CD, but I haven't tried it yet. The WinTV 950 works well enough that I
stopped chasing MythTV.

These assume you want all your files accessible from both operating
systems. I haven't found a DOS variant that works well on NTFS.
