Michael - Yes, you can run multiple Linux distributions on the same machine. I did this for a while. Put these on separate partitions, which are shared by all the distributions: /boot /home /usr/local (or else make it a symbolic link to /home/local) swap Each distribution will mount the above, so you will have the same environment. Make a separate root partition for each distribution. These should be big because they will contain /dev, /etc, /usr, /var, and several others. Each distribution will have its own installed packages. You can use a different boot floppy for each distribution. If you use LILO, I think you can put a "root=" statement in the description section for each image. - Jim Van Zandt >From: "Michael Weaver" <drwho1@btinternet.com> >Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2002 11:19:00 +0100 > >Hi! >Can you run multiple distros of Linux on one PC? >Do you have to re-partition the hard drive for each one?
