Hi List, Many thanks to Rusty and Anthony. :) I learned that in order to have a multi boot system the way I had asked, would require me to appropriately edit each of my fstabs in all of my systems and also my boot loaders(?), if I wanted to be able to boot all of them from each other. I didn't quite follow the `mount point' portions? Which leads me to another question or two. For simplification, so I thought, I had asked in reference to 3 OS's. What I really want is to have access to my files in all of my OS's from my Primary OS, this requires me to have the ability to mount each OS from my Primary OS.<--- This I thought was just a matter of editing my Primary fstab? I was thinking that to be able to boot all of my OS's from a system reboot would only require editing my grub.conf, after the editing of my fstab(s), to show that they all existed and to give them an order of preference, and a mount point. All of the information I have read on this subjuect always deals with 'DUAL BOOT' machines only, never a mention of 3 or more systems needing to be booted. Which has been a wee bit frustrating at times. I have a 5 OS's on my machine, my hard drive looks like this; +----------------------------------------+ |windows|LM 7.0|LM 7.1|swap|debian|LM 7.1| |hda1 |hda5 |hda6 |hda7|hda8 |hda9 | +----------------------------------------+ only one of which is my `Primary OS', and it is mainly this one, from which I wish to have desktop access to the others, just as I do to `windows', although it would be great to be able to boot each OS from grub after a reboot. Where I am getting hung up, is on the `mount points', as ALL of my Linux OS's have a mount point of `/'. Perhaps I should have built them in a different way, but that's how I did it. :( Currently if I do a reboot, Grub comes up and I have the option to boot into my Primary OS (hda9) or into windows, if I want to boot any of my other Linux Systems I insert the appropriate boot floppy and away I go. This is a bit of a pain, but it is not really a BIG concern although it would be good to have all of my systems, available to boot from Grub. Thanks, mrweb
