Seems tricky to me. You might wanna either post an explaination on how it is done, or post a link to a page which explains the process. (If he wanted he could also use 2 separate hard drives, but I assume he can't afford that luxury so I pointed him into making 2 partitions, which is tricky but at least it doesn't cost money.) Also, AFAIK Lilo can only be made to select booting of PARTITIONS, so to be able to boot the 2 linuxes with Lilo, they'd have to be on separate partitions. If i'm wrong please correct me. I don't know anything about GRUB so that might be different. In any case, we are agreed: the 2 linuxes must at least be on separate file systems. > and make each distribution, descndant from the 'root' of each > > > : What does your lilo.conf/grub conif file look like?

I'm asking for the output because I believe that will reveal some information about the problem (as would the config files). The more information we have the better. > > : P.S.
