Assuming the second OS is also a Linux variant. a) Mount the ISO as a loop device with ISO file system. b) You will then be able to traverse to the mounted directory and search for the installer. c) Invoke it and it will lead you through the installation process. d) At the point where the program shows hard disk partitioning for install, opt for the manual method instead of automatic. This will allow you to create partitions and designate mount points. You must be aware of how to partition disk, specify filesystem types and mount points. Generally, it is good to have a partition for the OS mounted on /, one for your user files mounted on /home and Linux swap. You will need to try this out. If you are apprehensive of doing it yourself, maybe you should take the machine to one of the ILUGC meetings for some one else to help. On posting of messages: a) Please trim the mail being quoted to just what is needed like I've done. b) Please do not post on the top. c) Many of us will be willing to help if you try something, get stuck, let us know where you are stuck with error messages etc so that some one can help you. A plain "Help me" will not get you far. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
