It would appear to me that there is a wide audience outside Justlinux interested in multi-booting different operating systems in a PC. My two threads on 100+ and 145 systems have received a lot of interest in the Internet and as a result become the 1st and 2nd threads with most views in the "How I did it" subforum. Not all of remarks are favourable though as people think I am a geek or an idiot ( possibly true on both counts). Like it or not Justlinux has also got mentioned regularly so I am using the publicity to start this thread as a collection of multi-boot links and invite anybody who wish to contribute by
Post his/her work here
To inform us or put a link here pointing to other published information that is relevant
To ask questions or discuss the topic in general or in a particular area.
Tell us any unaccessful multibooting story. If you have an explanation for its failure I will add it as a link.
I shall endeavour to maintain regularly the first two posts, which shall be reserved for arranging the links from your contributions. You can post information from Post #3 onward and it will get mentioned here when it fit in with the intention here.
This is meant to be a centralised area where readers can find ideas, howto, published Internet information on multibooting.
There will be unavoidable decisions on the selection of materials in the Post #1 and #2 here and I foreseen some of my decisions may not be popular. The thread is for modern Linux and operating systems and therefore unless the information is up to date or has a historical value I would go with the current practices mainly. Having said that I am open to suggestions and remain flexible.
