Manuel, Why make a simple thing complex? Installing Linux with a /boot partition and using Grub ( or Lilo, for that matter ) on it, is more than enough. When Grub starts up ( if it was properly configured during Linux install, or properly edited, later ) you can choose whatever O.S. you want to boot from ! Beware of Grub and Lilo“s limitations on where to install in the HDD - it“s better to make /boot the first ( or one of the first) partitions. RedHat 8 has a very easy and well explained instalation process - read the left side instructions carefully, during installation, Mwaniki . Good luck . ----- Original Message ----- From: Manuel Tejada To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 2:17 AM Subject: Re: Multiple Boot up OS. You can install Linux too. During the installation of Linux create /boot, install Grub in the /boot partiton not in MBR. Copy the first 512 byte of the linux partition in a namefile (ex. dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1) Note. Change /dev/hda3 for the corresponding /boot partition Copy the namefile in C:\. Then edit boot.ini which is in C:\ ,and add a line like this: C:\bootsect.linx="Red Had Linux" ----- Original Message ----- From: Mwaniki wa-Gichia To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 12:36 AM Subject: Multiple Boot up OS. Greetings all, I am new to Linux and wanting to install redhat 8.0 (Personal) in a PC already with dual boot up OS (Windows 95 and 2000). Is there anything preventing me from installing Linux RH so that I can have multiple boot OS (3 OSs)? How would I go about this? Documentation on installation explains how to install for dual boot up. How about multiple boot up? Much appreciate any advice on this. Many thanks, http://careers.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
