I'd assume that it would still be there if you don't delete any of the 
existing partitions on the drive.  By the looks of it, they set it up so 
that there's a 5GB partition that holds all the syetem restore stuff. 
It's good to know that all the access IBM stuff in Windows will still 
wodk though.  Is there a way to enable the security device under linux 
as well?  I've read that there are drivers out there for it, but have 
not had any luck finding them as yet.

Well, I'd like to not have to use LILO or GRUB for this install.  I know 
that there's a way to configure the windows boot loader menu to load 
linux.  That's what I'm looking for here.  I've been using linux for 
about 2 years now and I can say that I know a pretty fair amount about 
it, but I'm nowhere near an expert.
