TriBoot

[Dark Ninja]

Hey there Linux users. I recently downloaded Mandrake 8.0 and Slackware 8.0. I currently am running Windows ME on my system. Now, I've been using Mandrake 7.2 before this, so dual booting was not a problem with Mandrake/Windows. However, I am wondering if it would be possible to TriBoot(?) Slackware, Mandrake, and Windows. Couldn't I setup lilo under the second Linux that I install to recognize both Slackware and Mandrake? I'm not sure about this, but I haven't been able to find information anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I can see, there would be no problem in 'tribooting' - all you would need to do is add an extra section to /etc/lilo.conf
For each OS; type in
image = /boot/vmlinuz [ or the location of kernel for that OS]
label = mandrake [or whatever]
root = /dev/hda2 [or the location of the desired OS's root partition]
vga = ask [or which ever mode you want - ask is safest if your not sure]

Hope this helps
