mount the redhat / (or /boot if its a seperate partition) on
debian, copy the kernel to debian's /boot directory
edit /etc/lilo.conf and add an entry such as
image=/boot/vmlinuz-suse

Hi,

I just like to know how can I install Debian and Redhat
on the same PC. I already installed Redhat using Grub,
but Debian is using LILO. And how do you make/allocate partitions
for both of them without stepping on each other?
Thanks in advance,

You realize, don't you, that glib is not the same thing as glibc? glib

PS. When I get some free time I want to install Debian on my other disk
and see how I like it. Anybody want to offer a comparison of Debian and RedHat
with both pros and cons? (on a diff thread of course)

Ok, so I am following up my own message.
I just noticed that if I run redhat, mount my debian partition, and

This is an excellent summary of why you
I'm going to start a co that builds cheap boxen with debian. I have what
I believe a creative marketing scheme. My target market is mid to low

They easiest way to use dselect is to choose the source, then do not
select extra packages outside of the defaults. Except scroll down and
select apt. Then hit return. This will install the default base system.
Later use "apt-get install" to install the mail client, mta, etc that you
