To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to
a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2.

Partition Layout is:
/dev/hda1   -  / for the RH7T2 system
/dev/hda2   -  /home
/dev/hda3   -  swap
/dev/hda4   -  extended
   /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5

The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems.

Each system should have its own grub. You cannot properly install new kernels and have the grub menu updated properly otherwise.

At one time I had, on one box, RHEL5 beta1 client and server, SLED, OpenSUSE, maybe something else. One grub menu would have bene horrendous.
