[dundee] multi boot

[Nistur]

Cool, thanks a lot. I used to have a "Barely naked" version of XP 
(hacked version with a little more than the bare bones one someone made) 
I thought that sort of thing would be hard to come across. A Vista one 
sounds great too :)

Looks like I'm going to have grub4dos with nlite/vlite configured 
Windoze installs :)

Thanks again for the great advice
