basically it uses a loopback filesystem ala beos that makes images for / and swap on ur vfat/ntfs(?) filesystem and mounts it in loopback mode booting is via loadlin(dunno on win2k)
this feature is available since 7.0 and IS DAMN SLOW install this on a newbies m/c and i garuntee (s)hell never wanna use linux again

Misinformation as usual ...
What RHL 7.2 actually does is to create the _entire_ Linux filesystem on a FAT32 file system using meta-data and stuff. You can boot into Linux, but it uses an extra level of abstraction to get at the filesystem ... damn slow monster!
