Hello All,

System info:
RedHat EL4-U2-WS 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL x86, 160gb hard drive

I would like to set up my system for dual boots of RedHat EL4. I currently have a running system which takes up roughly half of my existing disk drive. I would like to set up the remaining free space, ~80gb, as another boot partition so I can using it for test installations. which keeping the original partitions. Can anyone tell me how to go about doing this or point me in the direction of a doc?
I have found a few of them out on the web, but, they tend to deal with a dual boot of a linux and windows, not, a linux/linux dual boot.
Thanks in advance,
George.

Its roughly the same:
Create a second partition
Install Linux
During install, when you come to partitioning, tell the install to use your existing swap space
Now for the fun part:
If /home is on it's own partition, you can (if you wish) point the new install's /home partition at the existing one - ensure your user has the same name and user id number in both installs
Complete installation and opt to either install a new boot loader, or not and then manually edit your existing boot loader.
