User Feedback :: Question about CD

I am going to try & send for the full CD the first of August. I am running Win98SE & won't give it up. I'm a power-user in DOS & most windows. I wanted to know if I could install from the CD to my second partition on my main drive (hda5)? Then set up lilo for a bootmanager to multi-boot. I want my 98SE, XP & at least one copy of Linux. Will I be able to do that from the CD?? Thanks for any help.

yes!!

In fact I have my laptop "rednecked" triple boot...

Here is my setup
hda1 [fat32] 60 megs (Knoppix dir for frugal boot with floppy)
hda2 [NTFS] 5 gigs (Win2000) partition
hda3 [ext3] 5 gigs (Fedora Core 1) partition

my system has grub that dual boots fedora and windows
if i want to play with dsl I just pop in a boot floppy and pow

three operating systems but it only shows 2...

Now, with the changes made to 0.7.3,
my grub loader works with DSL just fine...

I was using grub to boot pre 0.7.1, but when I
switched to 0.7.2, grub gave me issues..

All is much better now.. Problem solved..

I think he was asking about lilo. Since version 0.6.x DSL version of lilo has been able to dual boot with win98 and/or winXP. Prior versions 0.5.x would only support win98. I have one machine with a full hard drive install of DSL using lilo that is part of the installation and it dual boots with winXP. I personally don't have a machine with triple boot.

'sounds like a great idea, how did you set up the boot floppy? Most boot imgs are 1.4megs and I can only get my floppy to accept 1.38!

Thanks
