Dual Booting with Mandrajke & Yoper


Hi
I would like to know if i can install Yoper on same hd as mandrake 10 and if lilo would recognize it? Would lilo be messed up? I don't want to trash mandrake as i have tweaked it and don't want to have to do it again.
Thanks in Advance

P.S. Great forum!

Lilo will not recognize it. You have to edit the configuration file. Its easy enough though. As to will lilo get messed up, only if you want it to. The installer (_should_) ask you if you want to install a bootloader. In your case, I would say yes. This will overwrite your old lilo, but it (should) ask you for configuration, in which case you can just add your other linux right on in. Oh. and if you mess up your mandrake lilo and it proves unbootable, its not unbootable. You can edit the config right from Yoper, or boot a live cd up to mandrake and do it from there.
