Tri-boot anyone

I was for a while. Mandrake just kept pissing me off. Never could get the graphics setup right so the GUI would load and I'm not good at Linux command line. Then when it would work the damn portmapping would cause it to lock up when it shutdown. When it wasn't that it was something else. Ended up doint my monthly format about 2 months late and haven't tried Linux again yet.

lol a guy in techtv had 55 operating systems installed on there computer. i can tell you right now that it is possible to tri boot.

ive done quad boot before for my friend

he wanted to see how multi-booting is done

so i grabbed a copy of BeOS, win2k pro, win98 se, and redhat linux 6.1
(it was a while ago)

the result was a bit confusing for him...

first i used FIPS, a partition tool came with redhat... it was hard to use though
not a very user friendly program but it does get the job done...

partitioned for redhat...
and it automatically installed LILO but i selected no for it
because i want to use the BeOS's Boot Manager
but i had to have a linux boot disk handy to do this...

anyways
next step i installed win2k
then win98se

then partitioned for BeOS
then installed it...
got the BootMan installed


if u have some money to spare, Systerm Commander is a good software with good GUI for booting...
also let u partition and format...

I had a multi boot with Wiin98, Win2000, and Linux

heres how it looked

Boot ->
Grub(bootloader) DOS, Linux
/DOS
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows 98

hope that helped
