RE: Installation order for VISTA/RH5 dual boot

So does the "/boot" partition need to occur before some cylinder/block
value in order to work (i.e. within the first 500MB of disk)?

i.e.
Partition 0: 75MB (VISTA boot partition??)
Partition 1: 100MB (RH /boot)
Partition 2: 120GB Vista
Free Space of 20 GB for RH
Partition 3: Vista Recovery

Thanks.

I would agree with what you have heard, and not install RH first. The
first thing is to get the drive partitioning of the drive done first.
One
trick which I do is make the windows partition the active partition.
With
this configuration, it is possible to reinstall either os with out
impacting the other os. (I have not tried this with vista)
