This is a very simple operation. If you wanted, for example, to have 3
installations, win95, linux (stabile), linux (experimental), you could partition
the disk as follows:
/dev/hda1 DOS >= 32MB
/dev/hda2 Linux native
/dev/hda3 Linux native
/dev/hda4 Linux swap
When you do the installations, you'd specifiy the partition you want to install
on, and add no other partitions. As one example, lets say you want Red Hat
v3.0.3 as the 'stabile' installation, and Red Hat v4.0 as the experimental.
You might add /dev/hda2 as the installation partition for v3.0.3, and /dev/hda4
as the swap partition. When you load v4.0, you'd specify /dev/hda3 as the
install partition, and use /dev/hda4 again as the swap space. Your lilo setup
would simply list multiple images, with win95 listed as "other".
Need help, email me. Due to some work on my graduate project, I've currently
got the following:
/dev/sda1: Win 95
/dev/sda3: Linux (emergency - minimal)
/dev/sdb1: Linux (stabile)
/dev/sdb2: Linux (beta test)
/dev/sdb3: Linux (MSCS project)
The /usr, /usr/local, /home, /opt, etc. for the beta installation & the MSCS
project are located on /dev/sdc. Get's to be fun sometimes, keeping it all
straight. I'll be a happy camper when I finish this project!
Cheers!
