Has anyone or does anyone know if a tri-boot system is possible. I'm wanting to try two diffent versions of Linux and keep win 98. Can it be done or am I just foolin' myself.

Yeah Multi-boot is possible.

System Commander will allow you to boot from a variety of systems.. I don't personally use it, so I cant give you the particualrs...
I have multiple systems and thats how I test OS's (running about 12 PC's at home) but I know this isn't possible for everyone. WinNT/2000/XP also will give you multi boot options.

I also know there is a device available (I saw it at TigerDirect) called "Trios" or something like that that allows for a tri-boot type system.

Just a suggestion

Yeah. A multi-boot system is very possible. I have done it several times. Just, not with RedHat 7.2, but that problem should probably be irrelevant to your setup.

i know its possible but not 100% sure how to do it, do you have a LUG where you are you could ask?

No LUG's around here. In fact I'm about the only person that knows what the hell it is, except for a couple of the other guys at work. And I know more about Linux than they do. And yes with Lilo I was able to modify it for multi-boot.

Sweet. So you're up with all three?
