odd method of booting linux?????
 

i have heared and listented to people talk about using windows emulators and rebooting them with the .iso image. i think that u could tri-boot within windows and have the linux OS installed on the emulator so u could access it within windows while online. i think it can be done but im not sure. could anyone run this theory and let me know what they come up with?

dood.. that gave me a headache!!!

can you possibly explain in a little more detail what you are trying to do??

yeah... ill break it down a little easier for you... to put it plain and simple i want to see if u can install linux on a windows emulator and have linux running through the windows emulator!

huh? you mean have a linux box with a windows emulater and run linux on the windows emulator... like cygwin or winlinux?

What you want can be done with vmware... however.. it is a simplified process...

Install a base OS (linux of course)

You can have multiple vmware sessions runnig on one machine...

so there owuld be no reason to install windows... then install a windows linux emulator to run another sesssion of linux.

if you want another linux os.. you install another linux os via vmware.

I have read about some machines where I work that that run RedHat, NT4, Win98 & DOS all on the smae machine with vmware :)
