While Googling to research the question of whether or not Partition Magic worked with Mac file systems (or had a Mac version), I encountered several how-to articles referring to using Partition Magic to create partitions to dual-boot OS X on an Intel box. > You can certainly multi-boot to Linux. My understanding is that lilo (the Linux boot loader) takes this for granted, and is used to launch Linux even in the absence of an alternate boot OS. Back in the early days of Win95, I saw people dual booting DOS 6.x and Win95 (dunno why they were doing that, though -- made no sense to me at the time and makes less sense to me now, given that every DOS program I ever encountered worked just fine in a Win95 DOS box). -- David W.
