the only problem i could see would be if you wrote over the mandrake partition... ive never seen a distribution detect anything other than plain linux (as opposed to the flavor of linux) during an install...in fact, just a few days ago, i was installing redhat over mandrake, and redhat just said that linux was installed.
as far as booting multiple linuxes... lilo and grub arent picky... i was moving partitions around the other day... i did a dd to copy hda1 to hda3, then installed lilo to a floppy and rewrote /etc/fstab... and i dont have a single problem (i was installing windows [for games only =p] and wanted it on /dev/hda1). if you want any help on specifics of getting two linuxes, although i wouldnt know why you would want two linuxes (overkill, one's enough ;) ), just post for info. the boot process of linux isnt particular at all, just tell it where the kernel and root partitions are, and it will do the rest... --mat On Mon, 2002-09-09 at 18:48, Doug Riddle wrote: > Rehat would be OK from what I have heard, I think we would have to > edit the grub conf files and then it would play nicely.
