For the ultimate multi-boot machine I setup at work to have as many different linux distros as possible for testing tools under different systems, I was initially stymied by the fact that /boot can't be in an LVM and if I don't use LVM I can't have more than 15 (or is it 12?) partitions. I finally concocted a ridiculous scheme which actually works well: I have a single 60MB /boot partition shared by all my different test installs by using dd to copy /boot out to a plain file or into /boot from a plain file depending on which system I want to boot. A few shell scripts and grub tricks to automate things, and each linux thinks it has its very own /boot so they don't interfere with each other :-). -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
