Triple / Quad Booting Tips?, XP / Mandrake 10-1 / Yoper / Ubuntu
Hi people.
Just got a new computer - XP 3000, 512 MB, 160 Gb SATA. At the minute i've got XP installed, i am going to install Mandrake 10.1 as soon as i have it, but i also want a development (or possibly 2) version of linux too. What is the best order to install the OS's. Here is want i'm thinking SATA drive 1: /XP /Yoper /Ubuntu /Mandrake 10.1 - i thought installing mandrake last might make sense as it seems to automatically set up lilo. - Can i have more than 1 home/swap partiation on one drive. Also would it be easy to add another version of Linux (i.e -mepis) on a spare IDE drive, so it would be for example:- SATA drive 1: /XP /Yoper /Ubuntu /Mandrake 10.1 IDE drive 1: /Mepis Anyone any hints on this before i start! cheers |
I don't think the order matters much when installing the os's as long as XP is first. As for adding a second drive with another distro, I've heard that this requires quite a bit of extra configuration, so I try to keep my distros on one drive.
