... i don't see why not. given 'one' partition, create two file systems,
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.
although i could imagine having more than one, if the bootup procedure somewhere executed a "chroot", thus delineating a filesystem within a filesystem. but it would be difficult to imagine wanting to bother to make such a setup actually work.
Although I prefer seperate partitions, this can be usefull if you only have one partition to build for instance LFS on http://linuxfromscratch.org/
A hint describing the process can be found here http://www.nl.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/one-partition-hint.txt
