Can Linux be trippled-booted?
« on: 10 May 2003, 23:41 »
I have 2 HDs. The primary OS will be Mandrake, for the secondary, unfortunatelly I must have fuckdows because of some apps (related to my job) that requiere it. The third will be RH or maybe other Linix distro.

Is this possible?

By the way, this is not the old machine as in my previous posting.

ThnX!

Hell yeah, your only limitation is the number of partitions you can create!
Contains scenes of mild peril.

Of course it can! BTW does anyone remember an older thread where someone posted a link to a guy's page who was booting between i don't remember how many OSes? That was a pretty interesting link.

With the right bootloader (I recommend GRUB) you can boot as many OS and distros as your HD can handle the partitioning.  If you need any help configuring the boot loader just read the HOWTOs on http://www.tldp.org or just post.
