It does not require a partition. Have you considered using loadlin.exe (a DOS executable) to boot your two Linux distros? slackware.bat --------------------------------- loadlin zimage root=/dev/hda6 ro --------------------------------- redhat.bat --------------------------------- loadlin bzimage root=/dev/hdb3 ro --------------------------------- You could set up a menu in your config.sys to include the slackware.bat and redhat.bat options.
