[CS-FSLUG] More than one distro

[Yama Ploskonka]

My experience with double boot is that it can be done (I use SuSE 10 as 
well) but you are pretty much one checkbox or equivalent away from 
disaster.  My score is one triple boot working (Mandriva/Suse 9.3/Suse 
10), after 4 mUBAR attempts.  Of course all on an otherwise disposable 
Hard drive.  I guess it's one of those things that you have to do until 
you get right, then it's very easy... :-)

As I did, you go ahead with your CD based install, when you come to 
partitioning you dance, then it works.  Or doesn't, and you start again.

Not much help from me, besides telling you to reserve at least one day 
for the project, and expect it to take you past midnight...
But apparently it can be done.  How stable it is later, dunno. 
Especially as to passing info to/from.
