Re: Double Installations

[Anders Hagstrom <anders best com>]

I also have several computers with mixed systems on the same hard disk that 
work great.
One system has Win98SE, Win2k, WinXP, RedHat, and Mandrake, as well as 
several data partitions.
I however, use a third party bootloader (from Power Quest) to manage my 
various systems.
I made sure to load Lilo or Grub from the first sector of the boot 
partition instead of the MBR.
Saves from remembering where I left the floppies. <g>.
You have to take care of loading the various OS in the correct order, and 
it helps to start off with a blank hard disk to play around with.
Power Quest's partition manager is great in order to change the size of 
partitions after installation. :-))
