I've installed multiple Linuses in combinations like Mandrake + Debian, Mandrake + Storm, Redhat + Debian. The biggest problem for me was the module loading. modprobe produces error messages about not finding the module to be loaded.
But this may be because in LILO I installed Debian as just another Linux OS. In a recent reinstall I configured Debian to boot as an alien ("other") operating system (like winblows). Now I'm able to modprobe without too much fuss. On Mon, 23 Oct 2000, Nate Amsden wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > Another question (It's half off-topic, I know): > > I'm installing Red Hat.
