slack as seccond distro

CloudBuilder · 10-21-2003, 04:02 PM

I am doing some experimenting with different distro's to make up my mind.

I have installed suse on a separate machine. I have installed RH9, on the machine I at which I am mostly working on a separate machine. On the first drive I have winME on the second RH9.
I have a third large drive (200 gb) and I was thinking of installing slack on a part of that drive.

In one off the articles in this forum I saw that Slack uses LILO.
At this moment I am using Grub.

Is that a problem ? Can I use grub and install Slack, or do I have to switch to Lilo?

Thanks for a reply.

If you know how to use GRUB to add Slackware to it, you can choose not to install LILO during Slackware installation.

Stick with grub as your primary boot loader,
and install lilo for slack into it's own root
partition. You're likely to need a boot-loader
of some sort for it, anyway ;)

Either Lilo or Grub should boot any Linux distro.
Use the one you prefer.
