[UCLA-LUG] Lilo and NT (bootsect.lnx file)

[MIng Yu]

I've installed both NT and Redhat 6.2 on my machine. So, in 
order to dual boot by c: drive, I need to copy a file called 
bootsect.lnx to my C:\ drive and add one line 
c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" to my C:\boot.ini file. But my question 
is, under what situations I have to update this file in my C:\ 
drive? In the NT OS loader+linux miniHowTO, it says that "A new 
copy of bootsect.lnx must be transfered to C:\bootsect.lnx every 
time the bootsector of your linux-partition has been modifiled. 
This happens for example when you install a new kernel with 
lilo." So, when I install a new kernel, I need to update this 
file. But what about other cases (i.e. add/remove hardware, 
add/remove partition and so on)? 

Thanks a for your help.
