Well, I don't know if it's the right way, but here's what I did on my
wife's Inspiron 7000, preloaded on two partitions with second
partition empty.

* Run RH installer.  Remove partition 2, make swap and Linux
  partition.  Install.

* Tell it to put lilo in the MBR, and otherwise act like that WinNT
  partition is really DOS.

* Reboot.  Choose OS in lilo prompt.

Oh, I forgot step 0: forget the NT bootloader mini-howto, because it's
unnecessary and royally painful.
