There are no limits that I know of. The only limits would be the number of partitions you could put on your hard drive and the number of devices LILO or GRUB can address. So, drive size/512b partitions = N, where N is a big ass number. :)
The tradeoff here is ease of use: the tools Larry and Jason mentioned cost $, but are probably easier to use (don't know, haven't used 'em. Reviews?). LILO and GRUB are free software (the source code is free too), and probably require more head-scratching, but you walk away with the satisfaction of knowing more than you started with. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html John Hebert --- Jason DeWitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does Lilo have an upper limit of how many OS's it > can boot?
