Hey Newbies!!
I'm setting up a box on which I want to test distros. I'm thinking about installing like 5-6 ever changing distros. My idea was to create one boot partition (~50MB in size) and have all distros install their kernel images and related stuff there. Then I want to install the same version of lilo on every single distro and sync the /etc/lilo.conf files to be able to invoke lilo from anywhere on my system. Now some simple questions:
Does anybody see any problems with this?
Does anybody know about certain pitfalls I am not aware of?
Does anybody have a better idea of how to do it?
Thanks.
