Re: Multiple Linuxes?

[chioufd sas upenn edu (Fu-Dong Chiou)]

Can I ask a related question?  How do I setup lilo to boot into different 
filesystem?  I currently have RH 6.0 on hda5 and RH 7.0 on hda1, but no 
matter how I modify lilo.conf, I run into problems with RH 6.0.  It 
complains that I am using a different version of /boot/System.map.  How 
do I let RH 6.0 use its own resources, nd not use RH 7.0's resources?  
Thanks!
