Yes. Afaik, this is the 'traditional' method, both within a single distro with multiple kernel versions, and with multiple distros that each have a single kernel. If you originally set up both distros to point to the same external partition as /boot, then there is no problem, as the kernels will both be installed to the same /boot partition, and will most likely have different names by default. If, like me, you installed one distro with /boot as just a folder on the / partition, then installed the second using a separate partition as /boot, then you likely have to do what I did and copy one kernel (and associated files) to the /boot of the distro whose bootloader you're using, but of course, if you have to do that, you can easily rename the copied kernel to something unique, if for some reason it isn't already uniquely named. Edit your bootloader config, and you're done. Holly -- [email protected] mailing list
