Do you drink coffee ? If so make a cup and relax ....

First the post to the form may take a while depending on how busy the site is and if the posts are moderated. It could take a few hours for it to be posted.

Second the bookmart problem earlier ...sounds like you have bookmarked a page that no longer exist.

Now for the multiple boot problem ... I am really not sure what "SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1" is but I will assume for now if is like any other Linux distro.

So here is what you should do, feel free to alter the settings below:

For the example - 40GB hard drive:

/dev/hda1 - swap

Install distro 1 on /dev/hda2

Install distro 2 on /dev/hda3

Install distro 3 on /dev/hda4

Now setup lilo on all the all the distro's so you will not screw it up if you run the lilo command:

image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22"
    vga=794
    label="linux1"
    #append="nomce hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
    root="/dev/hda2"


image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22"
    vga=794
    label="linux2"
    #append="nomce hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
    root="/dev/hda3"

image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22"
    vga=794
    label="linux3"
    #append="nomce hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
    root="/dev/hda4"

Hello All,

I tried twice to submit a query to mepis.org about installing
SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1 with multiple boots and found that twice when I
clicked the submit button the message was not submitted.

Once I was in libranet 3.0 firefox and once I was in the Live
SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1 CD firefox when I tried to submit the query.

I registered with mepis.org and even successfully changed my password
before trying to submit these queries.

I skimmed 15 pages of the Mepis forum and could not find what I wanted.
There are at least 17 pages to search through and there are also the
mepislovers forum posts to go through too.

But I would just like to install SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1 with a multiple boot.

I am going to try to get my money back from Libranet on Monday. If I do
get my money back I will be doing a dual boot, but if I do not get my
money back I will be doing a triple boot, namely SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1,
Libranet 3.0, and windows 95.

regards,

Michael
