I managed to do that. BUT::: first I set up to bot Debian with lilo,
telling it to wrte itself on the MBR of my *floppy* drive. THen, when I
installed XP, it installed its bootloader to the MBR of my hard drive.
Then, I could repoot from the floppy and tell grup of lilo or whatever
to make both Debian and XP boot.
